how do I create species list

Post by hankinswood »

I've been trying to add my fish tanks on this website. I didn't have any problem creating the profile for the tanks themselves under My Aquaria but when I go to populate the species list I cannot seem to find a way to create the list. I have gone to My Aquaria, then clicked on the link to add my species, but then once I see the screen for populations for Hankinswood I cannot seem to find anything that allows me to go any farther. What am I missing?

You need to go to each species in the Cat-eLog, e.g. if you have Panaque maccus, you find the species in the cat-elog (you can use for example the "Quick find", or the species name search in the http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog).

Once you are on the species page, you click "Add this species to my cats". Do this once for each population (each tank that has the species, or each brood-group).

Correct. However, I had left this here as it is a common question and I had wanted to produce an article or video to instruct folks on how this all works. It is fine leaving it in resolved now, I will remember.

I hadn't done that becuase (a) it is just another thing I need to do and (b) I was going to wait for the introduction of forum authentication to catelog pages [which is now beginning is seems!].

Cheers,
