# What if I can't find an fish, plant, invertebrate or coral profile?

Maquarium contains a database of common fish, plant, invertebrate and coral profiles which you can search to find useful information about your inhabitants. This will ensure your aquarium conditions are ideal. However, it does not contain all possible entries. If you cannot find your entry, follow these steps:

• Broaden your search criteria. Search by one word in the item's name to insure a possible match.

Note: Searching looks for names that contain the name you have entered, when in doubt, only enter as short of name as possible.

• Try searching by other common names for the same fish.

• Try searching by the scientific (Latin) name for the fish.

If you still cannot find the item profile, it may not be in the database. You may then submit it for inclusion in the profile database.

Two recommended websites for finding fish profiles are:
http://www.fishprofiles.com/ and http://www.aquariacentral.com/

Submitting a fish profile for inclusion in the fish profile database:

1. Fill out all the fields in the edit profile window with the correct information. Partially completed profiles will not be used.

2. Press the "Submit" button, then press "Send" in the confirmation dialog, this will create a new email message.

3. Paste in the item profile data from the clipboard into the email message and send it.

Note: Your submission will be verified for accuracy and then added to the profile database in future updates.
