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

now thats a fish with attitude
... their a cracking fish but as said will outgrow your tank eventually.1 tip often forgotten by beginners is to make sure your water for waterchanges is dechlorinated, a dechlorinater can be bought in fish/pet shops. once you keep the water quality suitable for the fish then all you need to do is feed him but don't overfeed or you may run into problems. thats where your testkit comes in handy for helping to pin point where it lies. when you do get it though it would be an idea to use it ehether needed or not to familiarise yourself with it. important tests are ammonia,nitrite and nitrate with a ph test being a handy addition...
that'll get ye a bit of a start so fire questions where ye need to and we'll help
ps. there was also a new section created on fish compatability that ye might find usefull
