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

Here is a profile on the two fish I recognised from your list, as for the Red Striped Cichlid??? have you any more info on it. You should try and keep fish from the same part of the world together especially when you are starting out.
Get the full name of the fish from your fish shop before you buy anything. You can then check and see if they are compatible, as some people selling fish in the Pet Superstores don’t have much fish experience.
The dedicated people working every day of the week with fish are a better source, otherwise you could finish up with semi-aggressive fish from all over the world that have different requirements and don’t understand each other.
Best of luck with your new venture and hope it all works out for you........Tom.
