"no longer kept" fish in "my aquaria"

[Martin S]

Is it correct that fish no longer being kept are still listed with the fish for the aquaria they were introduced to?
I had three Parotocinclus cf_eppelyi in my 'auchenipteris are us' aquarium, all of which I lost after three or so weeks. I have marked them as no longer being kept, but when viewing my aquaria, they still show in the list of fish for 'auchenipteris are us'. I can see it in my list of my cats, but would not expect to see it listed against an aquaria, or have I (again) misunderstood the my Aquaria process?

I think you need to "unassign" the fish. Whether that is as it should be or not is a different matter.

I've not thought that far ahead! I think if you enter a stop date then it should either not be listed or perhaps be put in a separate list of previous occupants. Leave it with me!!!

In my list of "my aquaria", I have some fish that I have sold listed under the tank they were in. Surely if I've "stopped keeping them", they should not be visible for that tank?

[Not sure if I've reported this before].

Edit: And, yes, I agree that it would be easy to just set the tank to "unassigned", but really if you "stop keeping", then I think it should either be "not listed", or automatically "unassigned".

maybe separate topic but I could not find how to remove fish that no longer belong in any given tank

You can "move to another aquarium" or go to the fish itself in your "my cats" section, and change the tank to "unassigned". [I'm writing this from memory, so details are intentionally vague].

Merged another subject on the same.

Assigning the fish to unassigned worked for me, not sure if it was quite what Jools had in mind...

[MatsP]

I do think it should work "automatically", either by removing the aquaria assignment, or the code for this page doing the right select statement in the SQL-code, so that it doesn't count/show "no longer kept" species.

A fish no longer being kept should not show up in my aquaria. It should be unassigned too. I think a fix is needed here to check that when displaying a my aquaria page and unassign automatically.

Jools

[MatsP]

That's what I was thinking.

It's in my queue of things to do...

Mats

[Jools]

Cool, is that queue written down anywhere?

Jools

[MatsP]

Not at the moment, but I was thinking the same thing... But I don't think we want to bore the forum members with the discussion of how/where that is done...

Some of us don't mind

[grokefish]

I thought the point of the 'kept by' was so that people could contact these people for information/experience of keeping that fish?

Wouldnt getting rid of them storta screw this up?

[Jools]

They aren't being hard deleted, rather more like retired. Now, planned enhancements to show what types of aquaria fish are being kept in would be affected, but you want that. It means that as info on species specific care improves, we should see that reflected in the averages.

Jools

[grokefish]

Ah I see

[MatsP]

This appears to work now.
