Fields and units

Each record includes common and scientific names, type, minimum litres, minimum tank length in centimetres, temperature in Celsius, pH, GH in dGH, adult length in centimetres, minimum social group, swimming zone, temperament, record review date and its canonical profile URL.

Use and limitations

Minimums are conservative planning inputs, not promises of compatibility or veterinary advice. Populations, strains and individual animals vary. The download is versioned; cite the version and record review date so later changes remain traceable.

Evidence route

The JSON points to each live profile, where taxonomy, natural-history and husbandry source groups are linked. See the editorial methodology, evidence register and changelog.
