*** 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
