On a PC, you'd use the PrintScreen button on the keyboard, and then open a drawing program (MS Paint for example) and paste in the copy of the screen.

Just to clarify my original post about the odds.
The chance of a particular triplet is 1 in 2744.
The chance of any triplet is obviously 14 in 2744 or 1 in 196.
As an aside the chances of a pair is 560 in 2744 or about 1 in 5.

So we should see a pair every 25 minutes on average.
We should see any triplet once every 16 hours or so.
We should see a particular triplet once every 9.5 days or there about.
The bug was fixed on 21st June so by this Wednesday we have an evens chance of the full set!

For those using Apple (Mac) you press cmd, shift, 4. You then drag the mouse to create the rectangle/square and let go. It is saved onto the desktop. Apple rules!

I think duplicates are still appreciated. Just doesn't get us further on our quest to (screen) capture these elusive cats.

loachy_406 · Post by **loachy_406** » 30 Jun 2008, 21:36

Duplicate myself now! KnaveTO beat me to it ages ago.

OK, well the simple answer is upgrade to MSIE7 (which is a lot better anyway) but I will look into it.

Remember when the forum trio of cats were not changing, well the reason I'd set them to be fixed was that using the dynamic set was actually quite hard to do IF you're using MSIE6 or lower AND the transparency is to work. Anyway, I've found a way around it and so it should now work in all browsers.

Looks like this maybe temporary, but if you're still getting this error, please post it in the bugs section. I've already done too much "off topic" stuff in here...

OK, to get back on topic, why did you choose those 14 catfish, and why "limit" it to 14?

They represented catfish that didn't commonly get featured, a few favourites and some enigmatic species. I also avoided species used by other organisations at the time that I knew of.

- I had to have a small, spotted pleco and seemed passe and is used by countless other organisations.

- Beat off competition from - too similar in pattern to the above, which is a personal favourite but not selected because of that reason - plenty other favs selected and not becuase long barbles didn't work well in the style. It's a pretty and striking fish but the artist captured it too well I think from the photo supplied and so it didn't look as good as I'd have liked.

- for me as amazing a fish as H. zebra and I wanted a larger pleco. I also thought about but it wouldn't look good in profile.

- had to have a and I've collected this species in the wild.

- a personal favourite.

- Madtoms are great, never kept 'em but had to represent the USA!

- Again it's a striking fish.

- A favourite and truly a magnificent catfish. Possibly the best graphic.

- Very popular Cory that I've always liked.

- One of the most commonly encountered catfishes in your LFS and an interesting subject for the artist. Helps get across the diversity of the catfishes.

- I've almost always kept these Corydoras and they are similar to many other species. Nice and colourful too.

- A personal favourite.

- My favourite catfish.

- I wanted a Silurid, perhaps I regret this choice of species, (I had discounted the Jaguar Catfish for this slot as wanted to ensure there weren't too many American cats).

The artist who created them isn't available to create more (and I would have to pay for them) so it's 14 until I redesign the site and possibly stop using them.

Jools -maybe there is someone who's a "regular" in the forums who could do a few more if you wanted? It might be worth asking???

Same style? Well, I'm open to any offers but I don't want to offend someone who's tried very hard but to my eyes the work isn't similar enough.

But if anyone wants to do it, given the above, go for it.

Hypancistrus contradens - I had to have a small, spotted pl*co and Hypancistrus zebra seemed passe and is used by countless other organisations.

It's fine, I only ever saw it once. I was just curious as to what it is.

The link to does not work. Does it still make a false link if it is spelt wrong?* Is it spelt wrong?

Yes, it was wrong - . Everyone makes mistakes.
