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

Well this is me and my two boys three year old cathal and 6 month old Mullér(Muller is the german shepherd lol)

We live in bailieborough co cavan and I have been keeping fish since I was about 11/12

My first ever experience with a tank a few years prior when I was 6/7 my dad and I were looking around a pet store we won't name names and of course we walked in to the fish room and I can still remember thinking WOW look at the colours. So straight away I said can we get a tank can we dad please. I can't really remember how willing he was but what I do remember was we got a two foot tank with all the equipment.:) that's were the good memories end. The pet store attendant gave us some stinking advice. We were sold fish along with the tank guppies and neons so needless to say the next day everything was belly up. Dad flipped brought it back and demanded his money back and said to me son go buy some books do your research and when your ready we will get another one so that's when it started and here we are now. I currently have 4 tanks and in February I will be getting my breeding tanks set up pics to follow
