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
discus off his food
there are currently three discus in the tank, there was four but one died a few weeks ago. The one that has went off his food was the biggest out of all the four and the other 2 that are much smaller are still eating away.
im concerned because the blue one that died was the second biggest, at once stage not far off the size of the biggest, but all of a sudden he went off his food and became very shy and eventually died and the big one seems to be going exactly the same way.
nothing has been put into/taken out of the tank and none of the other fish attack or bother the discus-the two smaller one "fight" quite frequently but not n a really agressive manner.
no ammonia or nitrite and the nitrates are under 10, the tank is massively over filtered if anything and ive tried coaxing him with blood worm, brine shrimp, and various different foods but nothing seems to be working

he seems to have comer back round and is eating again and his behaviour is back to normal, he swims up to me when i walk into the room again as opposed to heading to the back of the tank where he cant be seen so hopefully he just had a few off days
