Thanks Mods!
Hey - I just wanted to send a 'Thank you' shout out to the Mods who removed the 2 seriously old stickies...
I asked that the 4 year old (and temporarily closed 2 years) Clownfish names and pictures thread (which hasn't hosted the pictures for years either) to be removed... as well as the Breeders Registry thread which also was no longer functional. Thanks again!

Hi Kim,
Your welcome ;>) We should seriously consider collecting some of our clown pic threads into a clown list......but big problem in the past, pictures hosted off RC frequently develop broken links and eventually go stale. When the pictures are on RC, we can go through and edit them to restore the thread. Ready to go to work? Scott

I have a couple of clown pictures that I could put into my RC gallery instead of my photobucket account, just will have to resize them.

*** Below is a copy of my thread describing what kind of information and pictures we are looking for. This way you can glance here without having to hop between threads. Eventually all pictures and information will be put in the thread that is Sticky'ed at the top... ***
Hi! So as the title suggests I'm attempting to recreate a quick list of Clownfish Type and Pictures for an RC sticky to replace the old one that no longer functioned... The problem with the old is that the pictures weren't hosted on RC and therefore couldn't be maintained. Here is what I'll need from you all. If you have pictures of any of the below Clownfish Types - please upload them to RC and post them in this thread. I'll then take the best few pictures of each type and try to compile it all in a few posts that can take the place of the old sticky. (By best I mean most clear, zoomed in... and I'll use as many as I can) I will give credit to each picture as to who's RC username they came from. If anyone wants to help - great... If anyone has any ideas about what types of information should be included in the list other than... Scientific Name and Common Names just let me know. (Some thoughts are host anemones, color variations, availability...) I'm trying to make this informative but not too much work at the same time! Anyway - below is a list I've come up with as the types I could find... (Note - I've never heard of some of these so I'm just going off information I could find on the web. If anything is incorrect or should be omitted or included - just let me know!) Please - any corrections or ideas - just post away. Then if you have any great pictures of any of the below that you can host on RC and post - that would be great!! Thanks - Kim Amphiprion Akallopisos Common Names: Skunk clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Akindynos Common Names: Barrier Reef clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Allardi Common Names: Allard's clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Bicinctus Common Names: Two Banded clownfish, Red Sea clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Chagosensis Common Names: Chagos clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Chrysogaster Common Names: Mauritian clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Chrysopterus Common Names: Orange Fin, Yellow Fin, Blue Stripe clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Clarkii Common Names: Clark's clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Ephippium Common Names: Fire Clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Frenatus Common Names: Tomato clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Fuscocaudatus Common Names: Seychelles clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Latezonatus Common Names: Wide Band clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Latifasciatus Common Names: Madagascar clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Leucokranos Common Names: White Bonnet (White Cap) clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Mccullochi Common Names: McCulloch's clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Melanopus Common Names: Coral Sea clownfish, Red and Black clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Nigripes Common Names: Black footed clownfish , Maldives clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Ocellaris Common Names: False Percula clownfish Color variations: Orange, Black, Snowflake Amphiprion Omanensis Common Names: Oman clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Percula Common Names: True Percula clownfish, True Perc Color variations: Orange, Onyx, Picasso Amphiprion Perideraion Common Names: Pink Skunk clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Polymnus Common Names: Saddle back clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Rubrocinctus Common Names: Australian clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Sandaracinos Common Names: Orange Skunk clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Sebae Common Names: Sabae clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Thiellei Common Names: Thielle's clownfish Color variations: Amphiprion Tricinctus Common Names: Three-band clownfish Color variations: Premnas Biaculeatus Common Names: Maroon clownfish, Spine Cheeked clownfish Color variations: Gold Stripped and White Stripped

Todd - GREAT pictures - thank you!!!
sk8rreefgeek - GREAT pictures - but can you put them in your RC gallery rather than Photobucket so we can use them?

fwiw: we'll need to break the the main thread up into multiple posts to support all the pictures.
fwiw2: feel free to post the all the pictures here, but for the first cut, we'll try to focus on the ones that we can also use for species identification. Okay?

Yeah - I wondered about that. I forgot that it would depend on what setting you took the picture at. Good point. Oh well - wishfully thinking! It doesn't matter - I think this is going to look great in the end...

Thinking out loud, could set up a photo bucket folder just for this -- just one persons, so that they would all be in one place. Only if they promised not to move anything. That way they could all be the same size. Again, just thinking out loud, and don't want to step on any toes.

Please others chime in - I think everyone is just wanting to see this work. Myself I'm open to anything - but based on what Scott said and looking at the old thread - that's why I thought the pics needed to be held here on RC. Now I'm just thinking out loud Todd!

Oh oh, Kim is thinking, better watch out.
But, you have a point, the pictures were re/moved and that is what caused the issue. The only worry I have about using the RC gallery is that the file sizes are smaller for non-premium members. I am really open to anything, just throwing ideas out. I would be willing to host them, I don't plan on going anywhere. (( might even be willing to share the password so that a select few could also be in control. ))

Even with the pictures all spread out in the RC gallery it could be a nightmare rebuilding the links with software change. At least it would be doable with brute force, unlike offsite hosting.

Over time, we should settle on a standard pixel size for such things, but we can actually recalibrate with link editing as time goes on.
For now, lets gather some representative candidates and shake out some of the folks that can actually take good pictures so I can remove my place holders of lesser quality
