Hey - I just wanted to send a 'Thank you' shout out to the Mods who removed the 2 seriously old stickies...

I asked that the 4 year old (and temporarily closed 2 years) Clownfish names and pictures thread (which hasn't hosted the pictures for years either) to be removed... as well as the Breeders Registry thread which also was no longer functional.

Thanks again!
 
Hi Kim,

Your welcome ;>)

We should seriously consider collecting some of our clown pic threads into a clown list......but big problem in the past, pictures hosted off RC frequently develop broken links and eventually go stale.

When the pictures are on RC, we can go through and edit them to restore the thread.

Ready to go to work?

:D

Sure! I'll help! I'll post a thread asking for pictures hosted only on RC... see what I can come up with!
 
I have a couple of clown pictures that I could put into my RC gallery instead of my photobucket account, just will have to resize them.
 
Great - thanks Todd - I'm compiling some information then I'll get a thread started for pictures...

Good deal, just let me know what and when you need the pictures. :)
 
*** Below is a copy of my thread describing what kind of information and pictures we are looking for. This way you can glance here without having to hop between threads. Eventually all pictures and information will be put in the thread that is Sticky'ed at the top... ***


Hi!

So as the title suggests I'm attempting to recreate a quick list of Clownfish Type and Pictures for an RC sticky to replace the old one that no longer functioned...

The problem with the old is that the pictures weren't hosted on RC and therefore couldn't be maintained. Here is what I'll need from you all. If you have pictures of any of the below Clownfish Types - please upload them to RC and post them in this thread. I'll then take the best few pictures of each type and try to compile it all in a few posts that can take the place of the old sticky. (By best I mean most clear, zoomed in... and I'll use as many as I can) I will give credit to each picture as to who's RC username they came from.

If anyone wants to help - great... If anyone has any ideas about what types of information should be included in the list other than... Scientific Name and Common Names just let me know. (Some thoughts are host anemones, color variations, availability...) I'm trying to make this informative but not too much work at the same time!

Anyway - below is a list I've come up with as the types I could find... (Note - I've never heard of some of these so I'm just going off information I could find on the web. If anything is incorrect or should be omitted or included - just let me know!) Please - any corrections or ideas - just post away. Then if you have any great pictures of any of the below that you can host on RC and post - that would be great!! Thanks - Kim

Todd - GREAT pictures - thank you!!!

sk8rreefgeek - GREAT pictures - but can you put them in your RC gallery rather than Photobucket so we can use them?
 
fwiw: we'll need to break the the main thread up into multiple posts to support all the pictures.

fwiw2: feel free to post the all the pictures here, but for the first cut, we'll try to focus on the ones that we can also use for species identification.

Okay?

No, thank you. :) Made me look busy at work resizing them and transferring them to my RC gallery.

Sounds good! Is there an easy way to make all the pictures a similar size in the main thread? Just to make it look nice? I was thinking just a few pictures for each type of clown.

I think that's perfect! I was thinking once we get a few good ones for a few of the different types we could go ahead and put them in the main thread so people can see what it is we're striving towards... Then as we get the different types done I can post threads listing the ones we still need...

Sound good?

Think that might be hard, as you could see by mine, some had to be different sized to fit in the gallery. It depends on what settings your camera used too. Though I wish they all could be the same size, because that would look nice.

Yeah - I wondered about that. I forgot that it would depend on what setting you took the picture at. Good point. Oh well - wishfully thinking! :)

It doesn't matter - I think this is going to look great in the end...
