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

Hi Guys,
Said I'd upload a vid of a pair of my discus in my main display tank pairing up and laying eggs....the blue diamonds I bought from Sina when they were babies - I'd say maybe a year and a half old now...I love their colors....the tank has totally grown out again so I have to replant...

My new pair of Pigeons - a proven pair from Sina. Going to give breeding them a go myself and see how I get along...they are speckled now as they had laid eggs on the heater and I removed them earlier today. Just added cone which should make it much easier for them!

Time... one of the reasons (there's a list!) why I won't be getting discus any time soon...
