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

I find it really hard to get decent fish supplies locally.
Depending on where you are in Mayo, seahorse do have a shop now in Galway city which is very good. It has very good fish, knowledge staff, and plenty of stock, as you would expect from seahorse.

I take a trip to Dublin ever so often and buy in bulk!!
For a few smaller things I need it's the Internet. Many online shops do free delivery once you get to €25 so that's great.
China is great for small items, but I wouldn't buy food from them.
Adverts/donedeal/here, are good for plants, as they do survive a posting.
When it comes to fish, I like to see the fish I am going to buy, so when needed I plan the trip to visit a few of the shops in Dublin around the Red Cow area!!

As it happens I am going at the end of the month, do you need anything picked up?
Do you need anything now? I am starting to have extra stuff floating around everywhere!

Hi Folks!

Wow...there are some fish keepers in this part of the world!!

Am in Claremorris - 2 tanks and keen interest in apisto's.

From my experience Seahorse is the only proper aquatic shop this side of the Shannon but am open to correction on that opinion.
