I see you are using other people's pictures on your site.
I really hope you have obtained permission from each one of the copyright holders to publish them.....
(If not, I think you are violating some copyright laws).

Well, I did :confused: :)
I notice you have now removed a couple of pictures, but I'm sorry, I still see:
In the "Specices" section: A. atahualpa: Copyright 1998 Doug Brown
In the "Breeding" section: The female guarding her eggs: Copyright Max Galladé 2002
The picture of A. agassizii on the "Home/index"-page could have been downloaded from this site: http://www.seriouslyfish.com/profile.php?id=65, where the copyright is JJPhoto (Johnny Jensen's Photographic Library)

I had an experience of someone using my picture on Ebay to sell stuff without my permission. I reported the incident to Ebay and the postings were promptly removed. Copyright violations are taken very seriously nowaday, laziness is not an excuse.

I appreciate the fact that you are very open to critiques and that you take them constructive. I do hope that you will be able to configure and edit your website taking into consideration the above mentioned comments, but keep in mind that you cannot please everyone so just try your best and as long as you are happy with it then go for it! I do hope though that you be a little more cautious with copyright issues as it i very much a big issue especially in the internet word since it is oten taken for granted. goodluck and keep us posted for updates!
