Can you help me make a homemade booklet about North American Killies & livebearer, mostly Fundulus species as I had trouble to ID them and want to practice on them by just create booklet with pictures, latin names, its habit and what kind water did they live in. I don't want go google search about the fundulus species every time as it will take me a while but it make me think since its easy to have a booklet that's readily help me out in just seconds.

But where can I find a good picture of every fundulus (both freshwater and brackish) species so I can add to the booklet? (just for me only).

Butch - That is quite a project. I certainly do not have the expertise or time for such a book. However there is a very helpful website called http://www.fishbase....ick=840#country or just search google for fish base. This database is extensive. Once you figure out how to navigate through their database I think you will find much of the information that you seek. Occasionally they will not have pictures but mostly they do. I hope this helps you.

Here's a nifty free program I found. It will search FishBase for you. I've been using it a while & I think it's great. There is a Mac, Windows and Linux version. I'm using the Windows version.
