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

ps Dave, you kept pretty old canaries?

Take no notice, John's trying to be funny (and it clearly isn't working).

I presume most of you will come via the M50. You need to keep right when you reach the end of the M50 and follow the signs for Malahide. You'll reach a roundabout and again take the exit for Malahide (essentially going straight through the roundabout). Follow the N32 past Bewley's hotel and take the second exit on the roundabout outside Bewley’s and continue to follow the N32.
About a mile further you'll meet a major junction with the Malahide Road. You'll see Clare Hall Shopping Centre over on your right (marked with the green pin on the map) and the world famous Darndale Hilton will be on your left. Take a left at this junction and follow the Malahide Road towards Malahide (if you've been to Kinsealy Pet Shop, you'll be familiar with the area).
Continue on the Malahide Road for about half a mile, passing a Eurospar and Bank of Ireland on your left. About 200 yards past the BOI, you'll see Campion's on your left (marked with the blue pin on the map). The entrance to the car park is immediately before the pub.
Regards,
Ken.

Magic, I never have sterbi fry hanging around my tanks.I'll have a worm culture Andrew.
If there had been a breeders class, I would have bothered dipping into a tank of siamese fighter babies for you; but maybe pass a few your way at a meeting....if you like.
Semi-off topic.....but it bumps the post for late risers today.
I've none left to keep my cory eggs clean, oh and I've some spare Walter worm cultures if anyone wants them
