[edit] Variable Definition

[edit] name

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

[edit] image

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

[edit] caption

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

[edit] species

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

[edit] min_tank_size

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

[edit] tank_level

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.

[edit] size

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

[edit] ph

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.

[edit] temperature

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

[edit] water_hardness

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

[edit] stocking_ratio

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

[edit] availability

A text entry, common entries are

• Very common
• Common
• Uncommon
• Rare

[edit] diet

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

[edit] life_span

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

[edit] coloration

Text entry. Indicate general coloration of the fish.
