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 all,

Great forum its helped me a lot with beginner problems I've encountered. Kinda up the walls at the moment as I think but im not sure a couple of my cardinal tetras may have columnaris. It looks like a white mark with tiny white worm inside it towards their tail fins. Both are still acting normally sorry I can't get a decent picture to post.

Does anyone think this could be columnaris? Has anyone had to deal with this before and If so what would be the best way for me to deal with it? I don't have a quarantine tank for the infected fish

Thanks in advance for the help

This is not much help but from what I know cotton mouth is on the head area. Your fish are affected on the tail fins, maybe fin rot. Pics would be helpful.

External parasite perhaps ?
From what I remember from a cory having what I thought was columnaris,
It looked liked a fluff that grows in length like a column/pillar.
Take 100 photos, if hour device has a burst mode then use it. You should get 2 decent photos to post.
