I have recently rejoined RC and I have a suggestion for future consideration. It will take some effort to get started but may eventually supply invaluable information.
As I read through many treads, I am struck by following a beautiful build only to find it crash. Or the number of times people freely admit the loss of a fish after a few short weeks.
I would like to propose the start of a fish data base. When somebody receives a new fish they can anonymously post the date of purchase and then perhaps a short check list, QT, size, LFS/online etc. Then re enter date of death if and when that occurs.
Over time it would seem that such a data base would be a quick reference for many of the questions that arise about a given species, especially survival rates.
People on this forum are dedicated to supplying the best environment possible for their specimens and should be a great source for this type of compiled data. {If this already exists, my apologies for not finding it.}
