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
FOOD FOR CATFISH
Catfish pellets
Tetra Doromin
Hikari Wafers
Tetra Tabimin
Spirulina flake
Live White Worm
Brine Shrimp - Flake / Frozen
I also feed garden peas about once a week but they can't seem to get the hang of the tin opener.

I feed all sorts in no particular order:
Tetra Prima
Tetra Tabimin
Tetra Pleco Tabs
Spiralina flakes and sticks
Earthworm sticks - which is a favourite of many of my corys.
brine shrimp (live)
white worm
cucumber and courgette (can never remember how to spell that!)
The one food I don't use as none of my cats ever ate it is NLS pleco tabs. Always from the rest of the range great, but no takers for the very hard discs for plecs, at least not in my tanks, though I have heard of another fishkeeper that has success with them.
I remember many years ago having a 5 foot tank in the sittingroom full of fancy gold fish and we had a relative visiting, she was fascinated with them and got up to have a closer look and seeing the tub of food at the side of the tank said "...and would they get out and feed themselves?" It took her a few moments to realise what she had said, a few moments too long for me to think she was sane enough to be driving home

Could not get your link to work, not sure exactly what you are asking???????????
Sorry for not getting back sooner, busy life and all that...........................
Tried that Tin Opener Daragh but it didn’t last under water for very long, didn’t even open one can.
Thanks for all the info on your catfish feeding habits so far, there must be a few more of you out there with catfish, does anybody else feed any nice to their catfish?
