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

). i like catfishes (i have as well farrowelas cats (3), whiptail cat (1), albino plecos (1), otocinclus affinis (5), sa bumblebee cats (2) and some ancistrus (cucuta and 2 others). i had 2 stripped talking cats but they were to big and i change them for peppered corys i hope so my cats will grow like yours specimens. Catfishes are amazing

Your redtail was only a toddler in the fish bag. I would say it was a joy to watch it grow.
As Dave (acara) said the Garra are more carnivore than herbivore. It just looks like they are eating the algae but they are really sucking out any micro organisms living amongst the algae.
see you finally got your hands on a Megladoras. A handy fish to have if you run out of a back scratcher:laugh:
I like the pic. with the marbled goby in the sand. Nice.
If you ever have to get rid of the whiptails keep me in mind;)
