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
Section Specifically For Micro Inhabitants.
Love micro/small setups, I have myself a solitary green line tetra, (and cannot find companions for him/she?) and I use the tank for some juveniles, wouldn't mind to add other compatible micro fish.
They are a perfect solution for people with limited space, if they had more infos, and support, as opposed to 'goldfish in the bowl' or 'betta in a glass' scenario.
Also, from the article suggested above :
'BENEFITS OF MICROFISH
They’re tiny: Most microfish do not surpass an inch and length. Some are so small you can’t even see them. '
The latter VERY good for people that cannot keep fish alive.... you can always pretend you have some of those 'invisible fish' in there....
I find that keeping a good environment in smaller tank (besides from food requirements for predators) is more difficult that larger tanks, and can go wrong very fast!
One of 'my' problems now is temperature.... when we'll have the section I'll be the first to ask this particular question....

I hear you on the quality control on the Nano tanks which I really love but what about Nano everything in a larger Tank, it could resemble much larger biotopes with the added benefit of a much larger stocking number.

they also offer the oppertunity to have a whole rack of different setups / biotopes etc in a very small space, the downside that people see is how a small body of water can change very fast. but the upside is how quickly you can do a water change, which should ballence that problem out if you keep an eye on your tanks,i have one one the kitchen floor for the last few months, it houses a few shrimp and a single white cloud fry, here is a pic just to show that tanks don't have to be cubes!
