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

The first one show, Betta taeniata looks very like Betta simplex, which I have:
I have not done aything to keep the youngsters butt here are a few in the tank, if you want a couple.
Des, that is some wish list, I had to google half of them
Leva, I saw a blue spot ray in AV a while back, lovely.
Tetra, I am not a big marine fan, don't mention the seahorses - I am still in recovery - but that is a smart looking Tang, are they rare or expensive, I have never seen one.

So far I have been good, anyway I don't have room for another tank, freshwater or marine and certainly don't have the time, maybe one day. The nearest I have come to a marine is with the seahorses, I think they are totally fascinating, everything about them is amazing, so IF I ever set up a marine tank 99% certain that it will be for seahorses.Dan Dan, I can definitely see the attraction there, lovely fish, reminds me of a wels cat (I think it was) I bought years ago but returned 24 hours later after it ate 11 platies on the first night! I would have been happy to keep it, but I got orders..... it's a long time ago
