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
white spot?
Do you know if API White Spot Cure can used in half doses on a tank that has shrimp in it ?
I cant determine from the label if it contains copper.
I swear it seems anytime someone here has whitespot issues that my tank gets it too
Also anyone know if woodshrimp are safe in a tank with an angel. The shrimp are large at over 2 or 3 inches in length.

But I know there was no cherry shrimp in the tank then,also I cant turn up the temperature as I have hong kong plecos in the tank so limited to temperature I can have.
Ive treated the tank tonight at half dose,will do another half dose in 48 hours.
The shrimp have all been removed into another established tank,Ive had to put the 4 cherry shrimp into a breeding hatch,they arent comfortable Id imagine but Im going to add a fake plant which will provide protection for them as its too bare at present.
The two bamboo shrimp are being acclimatised at present and they will go directly into the main tank as the angel is unlikely to eat them given that there are quite large and have lots of hiding places if needed.
Hope the treatment works now,my neons have the white spot also so abit concerned,one of the mollys isnt good at present,switches between sulking and then moving again,some of the other fish are itching off the plants etc on occasions.Damn white spot. Water is fine but will ensure changes are done once the medication is completed,internal filter with no carbon
Fingers crossed all.

does temperature change be one of the main causes of white spot?

you should look into gettin yourself a small quarantine tank for future use to keep sick fish out of your main tank or for when you get new fish so you can keep an eye to make sure they dont have any diseases before they head into your main tank
