With any tracking software/program/spreadsheet for FT you're going to have a "learning curve" period where you'll have to constantly be switching to enter new data.





Like JustAGirl said, starting out with the tracker is the least productive because you're constantly adding new fish to it. But the more you use it the less you have to add and you can quickly start using it to look up things like have I crossed a silky with a tiger before or have I crossed a beta with a fruitfish. The true power of the program really shines in the query feature because it lets you search across multiple columns at the same time. So you can not only see all the ways to make a Silky Beta but also all the combinations you've tried with a particular fin, body or both. A simple list of all the fish you have found is a very easy printout to do and I can put that into the program immediatly. Where it gets tricky is doing a printout based on the fish you have bred which I'm still working on.

That would be cool. I use print screen and keep pictures of each of the species information card that comes up, pretty cumbersome, I would be interested. thanks

I have devised a matrix and diagonalized it. The breeding actually follows a very regular pattern for all fish and for all fins. By simply following the row and column to where they meet you can find out what fish and fin each combination will make. The cool aspect of this is that the fins and the fish-bodies are completely independent of one another.
From this, I devised a chart with fins in the columns and bodies in the rows. when placed in the proper order, the fish breed that results is exactly halfway between the two parent breeds. for a copy of this spreadsheet, email egustafs@purdue.edu

Additionally, I have come up with a combination of 41 specific fish through which you can make any breed in one single incubation. I keep these fish in my tanks 1 and2 and do my breeding in tank 3. If you'd like a list of these 41 breeds email egustafs@purdue.edu

Anyone know what to do? I clicked to open my fish tracker program and all the details I had input were gone! It even asked me to unzip the files again, just like the 1st time I had used it. Advice? Luckily, I had about 80% of my fish recipes written down, but for that other 20%....grr. (Good thing I dont have a real job)

The author of the program (Celebane) offered some help for that situation earlier in this thread - back about one page from here.

It appears that you clicked on the zip file which you downloaded instead of the applications executable file. That is the only way that it would have prompted you to unzip again.

This is a cool program, and I use it along with a spreadsheet. (I like using a spreadsheet only to quickly find out what fish/fin type I have not bread together). Is there a way to print this table? That would be handy, as my list of fish is getting pretty long.

Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone has been having problems with the fish not being alphabatized correctly? I've been noticing that every now and then when I enter some fish it gets shifted into the middle of another group...if anyone has found a fix for this please let me know

This program has been very helpful, and has made breeding fish more fun for me...thanks!
