I need a complete list of common names for freshwater and saltwater
fish and other living creatures (inverts, corals, live rock, live
plants) that one would purchase for a home aquarium. A good starting
place for answers is saltwaterfish.com, about.com.

The list needs to be in simple text format with one listing per line. Each
name should be capitalized like this:

(Example:)

Bahama Starfish
Blue Urchin
Pencil Urchin
Bubble Tip Anemone

And so forth . . .

Thanks.

Do you realize there are over 28,000 fish alone? not to mention inverts, corals and plants.

I suggest doing more research on your own on the net. If this is your homework assignment, and all you are going to do is cut and paste...

I think you'll find that that is an impossible demand. The number of species of fish alone that can be bought for home aqauriums runs into the low thousands. If you are including all possible invertebrates as well the list could easily be up in the tens of thousands. If you've got the inclination do it yourself; don't expect others to try to do it for you.

That's awfully demanding and a lot of fish. Try looking it up on google or get a fish encylopedia
