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
rainbow fish
Boesemani's are Beautiful fish tho (one of my favorite anyways) alway playful (hope ya gt a lid on tat tank nd all!
), it can take a few months tho before you notice any real depth to their colours, i found it helps to use tall plants, like Vallis ect, planted in the back of the tank and allowed to shade the fish from strong light, as their colours can be seen best in the dark, (look in your tank a while after lights out or first thing in the morning when the lights switch on, even at a young age and they will have some impresive colours!!), in saying this tho Time is the only real way for your rainbows to come into their own!Also Any disruptions to the tank can effect their colours!, when i do a water change the all hide in the back and turn a vanillay colour all over!
Def Worth the wait!!
The money was just resting in my Account!

i have had three of them for over 12mths now, and they are full of life and got loads of character. strange to see them first thing in the morning cos they loose thier color when no light but soon regain it back, totaly placid fish yet can get up to so mush mischief between them selves realy good fun to sit and watch them. will be getting more when the 240 is set up in a few weeks.
May your fish be with you:
