I certainly understand what you mean. I actually got the idea as I was looking through some old (like late 1960s) fish books and being amused by how out of date some of the information was (especially scientific names). I realized the only ways to get the most accurate information about aquarium fish was either here where information is spread out all over the place and not really backed up by much or books that must be updated every few years. I guess if you really want it then buying the books is the way to go. I just look at a site like fishbase and wonder why such a site can't exist for aquarium information (answer: probably because fishbase is funded by scientific orgs). I guess I'll just have to keep dreaming about being a professional aquarium writer. Thanks for your input
