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
high lighting fish
,but 60 is too small for them,If you want algae eaters go for ottocinclus.great little cats that leave the plants alone.you could use a heap of different tetras ..even though a lot of them come from black water they are a firm favourite amongst plant enthusiasts and tend not to jump.You could also maybe look at these guys en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danio_margaritatus stunning fish for nano tanks.You might want to think about poping some shrimp in too.. dont make me come over there.

You could try the very underated Lemon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis).
They never look anything in the shops but look great when settled in the aquarium.
8-10 would be good for a 60ltr.
Goldring Danio (Danio tinwini) are tough and not as hyper as most Danio.
The gold in these gets better with age.
After keeping these you will never underestamate the beauty of Danios again.
8-10 for a 60ltr.
Microdevario kubotai (sorry. dont know the common name).
These are so iridescent green you would think they were thinkered with. Pictures dont do them justice.
Warning: they will not tolarate high levels of Co2. So no injecting Co2 with these guys. Liquid carbon is fine.
6-16 for a 60ltr.
Rosy loach (Tuberoschistura arakanensis). These are a bottom and mid water dwelling loach that are quite small and can get quite colourful with age.
Tough, peaceful and non demanding.
2-10 for a 60 ltr.
Pygmy cory (Corydoras pygmaeus). These are a great little Cory they dont only spend there time on the bottom but also swim mid water.
A group of 10-20 would look grat in a 60 ltr.
As for algae control try one of the Stiphodon Gobys. If its an algae they will eat it. Including black beard algae.
Peaceful, full of caracture and very colourful.
2 would be good for a 60 ltr.
Just a couple of the underated and undemanding fish that do great in a planted tank.
Am I correct in asking , that these numbers are species only tanks and not all together
