Has any one seen this it looks OK and seems to cover it all.
Tank size and shape, capacity, filtration, and lots of fish in their listing.
They also have a forum

If it is workable finally we have a far better guide than the very old 1ins per gal.

Hmmm, thanks for the link, I'll have to play with this and see if I think it's accurate. It's useless for me personally since I'm a rare fish keeper, and half the fish I have aren't there. Some of the fish they include impress me, though, hehe! I kind of wish you could put in a stocking and see the recommend filtration/tank size instead of having to put in that information first.

Yes. The site is constantly being updated and worked on. Not really sure it is an exact science but rather a good reference.

Shinigami, you should post your idea on the site, I'm sure he would appreciate it. I kind of like that idea.

interesting! Certainly the most comprehensive I've seen. Still says male bettas alone, but that is better than the alternative

Quite the neat utility, and it has potential to continually get better as more data is added. Particularly useful with the warnings it gives with incompatible species for beginning aquarists.

Hi guys,

I am the one who built this tool. It is still a work in progress, mainly because I am still accepting requests to add new species and also listen to anyone who don't agree with what is reported by www.aqadvisor.com. If you have such ideas/issues, please let me know. I will gladly look into them!

Thanks.

I have recommended your Aqadvisor to several posters one reason is some new comers have a very fixed idea of what they will get regardless of all the posting warning of the problems that will happen and then your program just confirms what all the posters have been saying.

For the beginner and even the experienced looking for something different it is a excellent program.
