Field notes

The catalog groups listings into hobby-relevant categories such as cichlids, clownfish, aquarium plants, and freshwater shrimp. Its “Popular right now” section says it ranks species by how many shops sold out in the last 24 hours, and that the ranking changes with each scan. The homepage reports 235 of 314 shops checked in that period; it also displays separate totals for fish in stock and live listings.
