Finding Family by Species Name

Post by Martin S »

Am probably missing something obvious here (wouldn't be the first time :oops: ), but after reading the post about spawning lophiobagrus cyclurus, I was interested to look more at the fish and it's data, but do not know which family it is in. I did a search ofthe forums, and every clog link failed with a page not found. Is there an easy way to find the family if you only have a species name?
Thanks
Martin

You did a forum search. You need to do a site search: http://www.planetcatfish.com/core/search.php

Alternatively, if you have the scientific name (or common name and there's a common name in the Cat-eLog) use the Cat-eLog "home-page" http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/
and type in the scientific name in the bottom search group. Once you have your species, the Cat-Log has links to the family and genus on the top of the datasheet section.

[You can also search for genus or species name or partial names by selecting contains/begins-with in the selection box on the left of respective names - but you have to specify something in at least one of the boxes (and I just found a bug that it doesn't actually check this - will post in the Bugs forum)].
