the environment goes from clear bright skies and the pounding heat of tropical sun to cloudy and dark. It's the reverse in Scotland. :-) [Brought to you by the Scottish weather channel, https://taps-aff.co.uk/] Back on topic, the humidity and other factors change too. Makes a lot of sense... Jools

You might also want to read the Venezuelan Diary series too?

Awesome, chalking this one off the list.

I saw the blog report update, wow. That's a pretty cool one!

Jools

I am working towards this, but there is something of a sequence of events. 1. I need to make multiple spawning reports work because it would be very daft to add the other features, then add this and then have to "redo the plumbing after I've finished the tiles". 2. I need to make the cong...

Perhaps it could be more than simply multiple dates? Can multiple spawning reports be handled in a fashion similar to the way that multiple populations are handled in the Registered Keepers? Thus just as a person can click on the "Add to My Cats" cats link to create a new population, perh...

Some progress. The "further spawning dates" feature is up and running, just cleared quite a lot of testing, so I hope it's pretty much complete without bugs that I can think of. This is meant to be used for recording multiple spawning events with the same population / aquarium. Cheers, Jools

Indeed, "user-centric" as they call it nowadays. The former roughly means both the process and the interface, with user-friendly meaning the interface. Anyway, I get it, and I understand its importance. Nowadays, folks look at the process and design the software/website to that to make a &...

Hi Jeanne,

Sorry, I don't understand what PTN feature means. Could you provide details please.

Jools

Hi Jeanne,

I had a look at what you've got stored and I can't see anything wrong. Can you please provide details? A screenshot would help too if you can attach one.

Thanks,

Jools

Yes aka @The.Dark.One.

The hard part with distribution info is that using any data but the holotype location from the description introduces lots of false information. I have stacks of "Fishes of...." papers full of bad identifications. In all fairness, the survey teams rarely (if ever) have a full compliment o...

I agree on the photos in B. macracanthus looking like B. sp. peru as per Steve's book and matching the description in there too. B. macracanthus is a Rio Negro fish and so relatively likely to be exported. Fishes from the Madre de Dios are not often exported. Although the determination in the cat-el...

Thanks for reporting Eric, I fixed it now.

Cheers,

Jools

No worries, good to talk about it. So, let's say you have your "wishlist moment" and head over to this site. If, as you say, you then go to wish list(1), click a new add button (2) and then select species(3) and then add to wishlist(4), then that's four steps. Alternatively, if you head ov...

That one record (https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/620801135) looks a bit odd. Would love to have seen the fish.

IIRC, a synonym of C. leucomelas is found in the Orinoco, but pretty sure it's not exported. Will check when I get time.

Jools

Not Venezuela, but Colombia yes (area around Leticia). That said, Amazon flooded forest biotope - not Orinoco or her tributaries.

Also, C. punctatus isn't Venezuelan either?

Jools

Hi Naturalart, Would be good to explore this add feature. I thought that users are either (1) browsing the cat-elog, or (2) they are in an fish store or reading a book and then want to add a fish to their wishlist. If (1) then they add the wish from the species profile. If (2) you type the species n...

The banned list is here: https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/br ... e_list.php - I'm not aware that it's changed since publication.

Jools

I really like it because I like seeing plants grow.

Jools

Agreed. Closest we know about are eggs scattering Clarias spp.

Jools

Happy days - will get back top multiple spawn dates now.

Cheers,

Jools

Took me a few hours this morning but I've ripped out all the image handling code in the "my blog" pages and rewritten them - they were not very well done in the first place (self-critique!) and years later are now quite hard to follow. I've tested adding new images and also replacing exist...

If you're willing to buy fish that are shipped you can get many of these species fairly readily. https://www.wetspottropicalfish.com/ is a very good example. Also AllOddballAquatics on https://www.aquabid.com/. I'm guessing you don't want the whole list all at once! :-) The other thing is I am not s...

It must be another issue with the image, looking into it now.

The extra spawning dates is not complete and won't work yet - might have it done this weekend.

Cheers,

Jools

I've fixed it, stray character in the code. Your images were uploading, but the database never got properly updated to reflect this.

Would you mind trying now and reporting back?

Cheers,

Jools

Sorry this still isn’t working folks. I hope to get some time to look at it as I am also working in the same area with the multiple spawns function.

Will let you know ASAP.

Jools

Agreed, I really like what they did with this table and the CG version of the wild animal patterning.




Jools

This will be a change I made at the weekend. It's just an updated file has failed to upload and I've done that now. Should work ongoing, but would appreciate confirmation?

Cheers,

Jools
