Variable Definition[edit]

name[edit]

This should be the common name of the fish. Ideally contents should only be letters, numbers, spaces, and quotation marks.

image[edit]

Image name that has been uploaded to the site via Upload Form

caption[edit]

A short description of the image defined above. This description should ideally just be a few words.

species[edit]

Official species name. This should also be the name of the calling page. Technically this should include the full genus and species name.

min_tank_size[edit]

This variable should take into account units. You may use the conversion templates found below the edit box to help with this. Template:gal and Template:L

tank_level[edit]

This variable has fallen out of overall use. Originally it was intended to be used to indicate if a fish was a surface, mid, or bottom dweller.

size[edit]

This should be the max size of the fish. Again you should take into account international units. Please see, Template:cm and Template:in

ph[edit]

Simple numbers are used, there is no unit for the pH index. Valid entries are only 0-14, however most fish will not come near these limits. Please try to use simple notation, just ## - ## with little to no text.

temperature[edit]

Either in F or C, please use international units. The templates Template:C and Template:F will be helpful.

water_hardness[edit]

Simple numbers should be used for this as well. Format ##-##

stocking_ratio[edit]

This is the male to female ratio of which the fish should be kept, for example 1 male to 2 females would be written as 1:2

availability[edit]

A text entry, common entries are

  • Very common
  • Common
  • Uncommon
  • Rare

diet[edit]

Text entry. Most entries are either herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore.

life_span[edit]

Text entry. Simple year range to indicate the average life span of the fish.

coloration[edit]

Text entry. Indicate general coloration of the fish.
