Wheres the link?

[Mr Aquarium]

Sorry i had to edit that, someone it posted before i said post it, lol
puters got a mind of it;s own tonight.............

[Huugs]

Thats ok mine has a mind of its own most of the time. Its like another of my pets really. Got its own personality aswell!

I like that link I found it a few months ago and I found it really useful. They do still lack a few of the less common fish.

[fishfreaks]

nice link mr aquarium, love the selection!

[maxpayne_lhp]

That's one of the first place I went to when I started this hobby

[Lexus]

Been there too before but thanks for bringing it up again!

[Damon]

Not all the fish have profiles Good link though. I keep that one also.

Here's another............

[TheOldSalt]

The non-forum stuff there is okay, but watch out for the forums. Those are some of the meanest, nastiest flamewarriors you'll ever find on the net, and even the mods pick sides and join in the fights instead of modding. It's a terrible place. I just don't know what their problems are or who they think they're trying to impress by coming up with the best insults. Whatever you do, don't disagree with anyone no matter how wrong they may be. It's just a big popularity contest over there, and as a newbie you'd be ganged up on and torn to shreds by a half dozen bozos who hurl flames in an attempt to distract from their own stupidity once they feel threatened. Surfer beware!

[maxpayne_lhp]

Oh that sounds terrible OldSalt, sometimes I feel lucky with this old FishForums!

[Fishfirst]

please create your OWN post. do not bring old posts up and post something totally irrelevant to that post. Thank you
