Fish Folk Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Maybe check this site out: https://animaldiversity.org You want to sort out the taxonomical organization for classifying life. Simple as it may be to glance over, this is what you begin with . . . Here is a link to molecular taxonomical charts from NIH: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi Here are a few sites that I use regularly pertaining to the aquarium hobby: FISH IDENTIFICATION fishbase.us -- You will do best if you can learn the Latin binomial for each species you want to learn about. For example, Guppies are Poecilia reticulata . . . German Blue Rams are Mikrogeophagus ramierezi etc. There is an option to list the "hobby name," but that can be dodgy. seriouslyfish.com -- You'll see the fish are classified beginning with Order, and moving deeper into the details from there Does that help some? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMongler Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 One of the best places to start looking for information is Wikipedia. It's mostly well written, and you will find tons of stuff there. I will occasionally fall into a pit of just reading more stuff if I let myself keep reading, and finding links to more things I want to read about. And on wikipedia, you can find lists that will take you to many pages about various species. It can also give you information you can use to do further searching for more detailed sources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
