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

Hopefully these video’s will give you some ideas of what we seen at the Duisburg Show. I had never used the camera before Duisburg so please excuse the average quality of the videoing. We have shown the complete Photo and Video slideshows at our I.M.A.S. meeting in October.
Tom.
This is just a trial go.................Tom.

some amazing shots there ... looks like an incredible show ...... i managed to pick out the name of a fish that totally caught my eye ...... he shows up at 3:50 into the vid and i think he's called acanthicus adonis ( elfenwels )
definitely gonna try look for a few of these , stunning fish
anyone know of any , anywhere ????

As far as I am aware they grow to a size of 1000mm or 39.4inches, so it's a relatively small fish.
