[AquaticLife] This has to be the height of stupidity and insensitivity! (OFF TOPIC)
Mongabay is more than just an interesting little site.
Aside from some of it’s political leanings, it’s probably the most thorough library of FW fish profiles/care sheets/biotope information, etc. on the internet.
Like Google and many other silicon valley type companies, Mongabay suffers from leftist tree-huggerism in many of it’s pages…. but heck.. I’m all for tree-huggers as long as they don’t have titanium rods or plates that might mess up my chain saw blade. 
For some reason that page on Iraq fish has all of it’s references linked to Fishbase profiles and there’s some kind of server issue with the links.
Here’s a page of fish from Iraq http://www.fishbase.org/Country/CountryChecklist.php?c_code=368&vhabitat=all 2&csub_code= that came up on a Fishbase search from http://fishbase.org, another vast resource of fish information but the profiles aren’t as easy to understand as the ones on Mongabay. I tested a couple of the links that came up on my search list and they worked so now this thread is on topic!
