As discussed, the {{Fishkeeping-stub}} has been created and about 25 articles has been marked with this stub as you can see in Category:Fishkeeping stubs. However, the stub was almost immediately proposed for deletion at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. If you want to save our stub, here's what you can do:
Let the stub-sorting people know you're supporting the stub and vote to keep the stub here.

"Aquarium box" for fish articles. Several wikipedia in other languages have boxes for aquarium care information (temperature, pH, water hardness, size of fish, etc.). Should we apply that to ours too? See more info and discuss here.
Websites references and/or external links. What do you consider appropriate websites and what're not? What about Planet Catfish, Loach Onlines and the likes? Discuss here

Just a heads up re: Kribensis. I changed the name as the common name is used in Australia for Pelvicachromis pulcher, P. taeniatus and P. subocellatus. I just hadnt got around to writing the Kribensis stub (which now exists). Also (just for interest) you may like to know the "official" fishbase common name for P. pulcher is "rainbow krib". Apologies again if I sounded harsh re: homocentricity, it wasnt meant to be jumping down your throat :D! MidgleyDJ08:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Again, no need to apologize. I agree that Fishbase common names are, in many cases, not really common at all. The kribensis stub was a good idea; maybe that could be one of the tools we use in finding a solution to this issue (creating stubs with an ambiguous common name that links to several scientific name alternatives)?--Terrapin8305:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
