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
two Ramdy fish ( i think )
)They are not substrate spawners, they just need a solid surface to lay their eggs. It seems that you got it right very fast, how many days science u got the female?
If they are the ones you got from me they are bullet proof for rams so it's should be easy enought to bring the fry up, as gav said just try to have some food ready. It only took them about two days to swim away and maybe another one to use their yolk sac so if they spawn tonight you only have a short time. They might eat the eggs ans save you the hassle;). They get it right in a couple of tryes.

That's what I was thinking but the little depression in the sand is at the very front of the tank, I've got very good eyesight and I've been watching it all day yesterday and today and I'm seeing nothing!! It's like the fish that are hanging around there are eating at nothing.Their eggs are almost (but not quite) transparent - but not to the Angel Fish in the first video!
I had a pair of Boesmanis which used to spawn daily up until quite recently - followed most attentively by the Clown Loaches...obviously they too could see the eggs - indeed one swum so closely that it discovered where the eggs were coming from, and would 'suck' at the female's vent obviously looking for more eggs!
