Great! :D

I am not an expert on this but the differences between Dario sp. and Badis sp. have recently been published by Dr Hoek Hee Ng based on data from Peter Cottle among others. He also had a short article in Practical Fishkeeping magazine recently that discussed this.

Anyway, the research I have done seems to point to all Badis species having the scientific name Badis badis and there are many synonyms (as indicated by douwe)

Badis bengalensis was formerly known as Badis sp. "scarlet"

Badis badis badis (Blue badis, Chameleon badis)

Badis badis burmanicus

Badis badis siamensis

The Badis is thought to possibly be related to dwarf cichlids, particularly apistos. They are cave spawners and the males tend the young.

In contrast, Dario dario (the scientific name) is a new name given to what was originally thought to be a dwarf version of Badis but the Dario has been found to be so distinct it now has its own family/genus. Dario are egg scatterers and they have a mating embrace like Betta fish and are visually different as I described earlier.

Again, I am not an expert, but this is what I believe is true based on my research:

There are at least 3 Badis species:

Badis badis badis

Badis burmanicus

Badis badis siamensis

There is only one Dario species:

Dario dario

Dario dario is formerly known as Badis dario, Badis bengalensis and formerly known by the common* names Scarlet badis, Dwarf Scarlet badis, Red gem badis and Scarlet gem badis.

*As with all common names, there is inevitable confusion. There are now problems with using 'common names that include 'badis' since the Dario is not a Badis anymore. To make matters worse, there is a scarlet coloured Badis species that looks somewhat similar to the Dario but it is a larger and less red coloured and it also has the common name of Scarlet badis. Best to use the scientific names to avoid confusion and hopefully people will stop referring to the Dario with its former common name.

Not sure how you are going to write that!!! :roll:

So does that mean Badis bengalensis is no longer used? (obsolete?)

- Updated scientific name of Scarlet Badis as Dario Dario. Also, Dario Dario entry as a common name has been removed. Dario is now known as dwarf variation of Badis species but since "Scarlet Badis" is a popular name used for what's now known as a Dario species, this name has been retained.

- Added Juwel filter variation - Jumbo/Bioflow Super + Pump 400 for Rekord 800 tanks.

- Added UNIMAX canister filters.

- Added Marineland HOT Magnum Pro series filters.

- Fixed a bug: User Defined value for filter is being reset to 0. This has been fixed.

- Fixed a bug: Flipping units after selecting species didn't work properly. This has been fixed. (Last release was very buggy! I'm glad I am my own boss!)

- Changed the layout - now it is more friendly for lower resolution displays such as those found on netbooks. It will not go wider than 1024 pixels.

- Now when you select a species '1' is auto-populated in the Quantity box.

- Changed one of the message - instead of "too big" now it will say "may become food". Some species can still consume other species without becoming "too big".

- Total number of filters in DB has been increased to 255.

First of all thanks for adding this range of canister filters

but

remark on the Unimax filter

The Unimax 700 does:

Product features

Wattage: 38 W

Max output: 1700 l/h

Tank volume: 700 l

I think someone is pulling your leg on this one Feti fetus

But correct me if I'm wrong

I mean that the output of the filter is 1700 and not 700, what it states whenever you select the filter in aqadvisor

The 700 stands for the max size of the fish tank

Oh that number in the app is meant to display the capacity of the tank capacity rather than the flow rate. You will find that it will report appropriate filtration capacity number when you enter your species and your filter.

ok I was wondering about that :D

but shouldn't that be explained?

I would assume (I know I shouldn't) it would be the pump capacity of the pump

It actually is. If you click on the ? it will explain it but I guess the placement of this button is not ideal as you are not the first to ask this...

- Mouth size for all knife fishes have been increased - they are bitey predators, likes to eat smaller fishes.

- AqAdvisor will no longer display water change % when no filters are selected. This is due to some confusion that some users will think this is the WC % they must do when they don't use any filters, which obvously is not the case.

- Added Sunsun series canister filters.

- Added Aqua One Aquis 550/750/1050 filters.

- Bug fixed: After entering quantity of species and press (instead of "Add" button), it will replace existing quantity instead of adding them if the same species exist already in the selected list. This has been fixed.

- Total number of filters in DB has been increased to 264.

- Total number of species in DB has been increased to 777.
