I have a fish databse. One table contains a Fish Database called FishDB. The other 
stores the fish per tank FishINV. So if I add three of the same type of fish I get 
three records in FISHINV records. I did it this way so I can add and remove fish and 
keep details about each fish. They may have the same ID but the comments about each 
one maybe different I am williing to remove this feature. My design may be 
fundamentally wrong but what I'm trying to do is query the FISHINV and get a count of 
each type.

This is the basic query I use:

SELECT A.ID, B.CommonName
FROM FISHINV AS A, FISHDB AS B
WHERE TankId = 2 AND (A.FishID = B.ID);

What can I add to count individual fish?


Would it be better to keep a running count in a field instead
