Retirement and forum shutdown (17 Jan 2022)
Hi,
John Howell who has managed the forum for years is getting on and wishes to retire from the role of managing it.
Over the years, he has managed the forum through good days and bad days and he has always been fair.
He has managed to bring his passion for fish keeping to the forum and keep it going for so long.
I wish to thank John for his hard work in keeping the forum going.
With John wishing to "retire" from the role of managing the forum and the forum receiving very little traffic, I think we must agree that forum has come to a natural conclusion and it's time to put it to rest.
I am proposing that the forum be made read-only from March 2022 onwards and that no new users or content be created. The website is still registered for several more years, so the content will still be accessible but no new topics or replies will be allowed.
If there is interest from the ITFS or other fish keeping clubs, we may redirect traffic to them or to a Facebook group but will not actively manage it.
I'd like to thank everyone over the years who helped with forum, posted a reply, started a new topic, ask a question and helped a newbie in fish keeping. And thank you to the sponsors who helped us along the away. Hopefully it made the hobby stronger.
I'd especially like to thank John Howell and Valerie Rousseau for all of their contributions, without them the forum would have never been has successful.
Thank you
Darragh Sherwin

Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.

Yeah, I have two filters running on the tank at this point. External and internal. I'm keeping discus for a good few years at this point and find that if you keep up your water changes and cleaning regimen you won't have many problems...touch wood! Thanks for your input though..

Part of my anxiety on this subject is because 4 years ago without thought i bought a clown loach for a 35 litre on its own with a stingray filter and the poor fish died. Only when i read about their requirements of needing to shoal and needing a large space did i realise where i went wrong and cursed the pet shop owner for not asking the basic question of "what tank do you have" and informing me of their requirements. Such a stunning fish all the same.
This is what i did with me 180 litre, i went down a much different road to you, small fish and 2 gourami.

Beautiful tank and stunning fish. By the way, love the built in TV screen on your internal filter in second vid (@ 1:01). Fish love darts too you know!!! Ha ha
