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 ,
I done a small conversion on my attic a while back so i could turn it into a small fishroom. At the moment im only keeping species of Betta but plan at some stage to try some annual killifish , snakeheads and chocolate gourami's but ill more than likely add more bettas 1st :)
Fish i'm keeping at the moment ;

Betta Pugnax
Betta Brownorum
Betta Persephone
CT Betta male/female
Trad Plakat male/female
HM female
Young from the CT's and B. brownorum

Some pictures of my tanks and set-up

B. Pugnax tank 120 liter



B. Brownorum tank 54 liter



B. Persephone tank 30 liter



2 liter jars on a heat mat for the fighters



Fry tanks with grow-out underneath



Sink area with RO unit set up and clean jars. The RO unit is set up so i can run the waste water back into main tank. Plastic tubs to the left for breeding set ups for my fighters




Another picture of set up with tub for ageing water and shelves for bits a pieces





Its a work in progress but i'm getting there. Hopefully the start of next year im going to plan on putting a small drip system in for my fighters but for now im happy enough with it
