Question Starfish and other creatures

Hey Jim,
I ahve read through many topics on here about the issues with the starfish and it showing multiple in the fish selector but only one being in the tank.

Why not remove the starfish from the fish selector and implement a tab system in that dialogue box like a "Fish" tab and a "Creatures" tab and on the creatures tab instead of having to choose how many of each you want in the tank, each creature just has a checkbox to say whether the user wants 1 in the tank or not so that whould limit the user to a maximum of 1 starfish and 1 of each of the other creatures.

Also, if in the future you decide that for whatever reason that if the user wants an eel in the tank then the crab would not be allowed in then if the eel checkbox is checked then it could automatically disable the box for the crab to show that it is not availble as the eel has been chosen instead.

I'll post an image detailing this later

Thanks

Regards,
Neil

Looks good except the "Creatures" tab would have to be much more visible as *many* users wouldn't see it and complain there's no starfish...
Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

Yeah, I didn't notice it at first, either. I'll probably do something similar to that when other invertabrates are available.
