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
Update - Green Laser Fry
Derek, Yes, some are much more prolific, the laziest female I have is a female davidsandsi and a good spawn would be 6 or 7 eggs, on a bad day I get 1 or 2!
The C113's have spawned again, that is about the 7th time in the last month, this time I removed the adults and left the eggs in the tank to see if that makes any difference, I raised these before and remember that the fry were absolutely tiny, snow white and extremely slow to grow, but since reading that everyone else is having trouble raising them, I am now too
I am going to move out some of the larger ones, which I am assuming to be green lasers to a new tank, to give the smaller ones a better chance.

Until you got that bright marketing idea there was no such thing as silver lasers, but it might be a better way to shift schultzei at a higher price
Here is an updated video, they are starting to look a little more like their adult form now, particularly they Gold Lasers and Corydoras sp venezuelanus. All fry here are between 4 and 6 weeks old.
I have removed the twenty biggest to give the smaller ones a chance, but I still need to remove more, but they are a pain to catch!
Watch on YouTube and in HD if you can.
