Hi

our daughter has left home to go to college and left us with an
aquarium full of fish. So I've been cleaning the filter every few
weeks and feeding them daily. Now I'd like to know what they are. I
think they're cichlids, plus a few small catfish. Is there some good
website I can go to try and figure out what they are?

Thanks
T.

do you have a way to take digital pictures and post them on a website?
Many people here have lots of knowledge on specific fish so that might
be an easy way to get free help.


Well maybe except I don't have a website, and photographing fish is
kind of tricky. I was thinking more in terms of a website I could go to
and type in "dark blue fish with protuding jaw" into a search engine,
or something like that, and get some pictures back.

If you have access to the newsgroup alt.binaries.aquaria, you could post
the pictures there. Otherwise there are about 25,000 fish to choose from
). You mentioned cichlids, so here is a tidy site which goes through a
sampling: http://www.thecichlidgallery.com/ and for catfish,
http://www.planetcatfish.com/core/index.php and select their catalogue.
Otherwise, you really are best off by having someone look at them and get
you pointed in the right direction.
