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

I have not kept either of these but if they are breeding pairs then I would imagine there would be mayhem keeping them together!!

What did you keep it with?.......I've being wanting to keep a Dovii for a while now but I have a fear of it wrecking the "relative" peace I have at the moment with aggressive 'ish' fish!!

Sorry for writing on your thread James!!

The dovii was supercool and would take on the jaguar twice his size but as I was moving house and getting smaller tank he had to go, lad from Galway took him with a 1000 litre tank so he's happy.
Convicts and tbars go well together and cross breed so that's what I'm looking to do for a while.
A school of silver dollars would be cool with your red terrors and tilapia?

Deadly :).......yeh anything I've read or seen of them makes me want one more,but they are nuts ha

Convicts are the bizz but cross breeding them with Tbars is not something i'd agree with but sure each to there own as they say.

Hmmmm your last sentence now makes me think you were not answering me ha.......anyway :crazy:
