I think Type -> Location -> (further breakdown of location if necessary) -> Type (Both common name and scientific name)

For Example:
Cichlids -> African -> Lake Malawi -> Giraffe Cichlid (Nimbochromis Venustus)

That being said, I'd like to see the profiles become a area to help people ID whatever it is they have, and I don't know of any fish stores that use the scientific name.

Well that is what I was thinking too saint....I know it is going to need to be reorganized.....I also though of somehow keeping the profiles where they are now but also making it so.....ex. when someone goes to the malawi Cichlid section there will be a link to the profiles and do the same for every category?! Get what I am saying.

So for example...you would link the malawi cichlid forum section to the malawi Cichlid profiles? That sounds like a good idea.

Subject: Re: Profile Organization Mon Feb 09, 2009 2:25 pm

Something to that effect dawg.....maybe a sticky where the profiles that pertain to that section can be accessed easily.

Mabey when the profiles link is selected the page could open with thumbs and a name of each group. example:

Large Cichlids

Catfish

When a group is choosen the page would show a list of thumbs labeled with its common name for each in that group. (The pic and common name would help with IDing) example:

Angel Fish

Oscar

After clikcking on the spacific thumb the profile would be displayed.

Title ex. Fish Name larger text or Bold or both.

Scientific Name(s):

Common Name(s):

Origin:

Family:

Species Type:

Maximum Size:

Life Span:

Natural Habitat:

Diet:
Temperature:

PH:

Minimum Tank Size:

Tank Region:

Temperament:

Possible Tank Mates:

Just an idea. Ed

I will have to try some things out in the admin panel and see what looks best and is not too confusing.
