Hi all :)

Just wondering what forums & how many people are registered to, in the subject of aquascaping/fishkeeping.

I often google stuff and end up reading on forums overseas and am surprised how many users use multiple forums for the same topics etc.

I'm registered to 1. here 2. Aquatic Plant Central (never use) 3. UK Shrimp 4. London Fish Keeping Club (just signed up).

I'm interested why people post the same thread over several forums, I find it all a bit strange! If you are active everywhere, why not have just one forum full stop. Hmm...
 
Apc, plantedtank, aquascaping world, tff, pfk, crusta10, nano reef, barr report and I'm sure there's others too.

The main reason I journal hop is to get as many opinions as possible, some posters you'll only get an opinion off on forum where they're prolific and it could be the best advice you could get so why not chase it down with a couple extra threads.
 
Ukaps, TFF, Barrreport, ASW, APC, BC Aquaria, planet catfish, cichlidforums and a few others.

As per Garuf. I like to see different opinions.

UKAPS, APC, ASW, Aquatic photography forums, browse TFF (not UK)

+1 for opinions. even with multiple forums, it's tough.
 
Wow a lot of forums i didn't knew about.
Could you please post the Url's for Them?
 
I used to be a mod on five forums. I can't justify spreading myself so thin these days, as I like to dedicate more time and effort to UKAPS, hopefully for the benefit of the UKAPS Membership.

I believe that UKAPS is one of the best international online resources for the planted tank and aquascaping enthusiast, but also understand the need for balance in opinions and advice that can also be effectively provided by other forums.

We've never had it so good with the huge quantity of decent and freely available advice out there! :thumbup:

very true.

I do tend to stick to just UKAPS these days.
 
A local forum and UKAPS daily, Barrreport sometimes.
Trying to find these days a good aquascaping french forum, if any, to exercise my language skills, so if you have any ideas please tell me. :)

That's why you are stuck with annoying folks like me :D
I think if you've never published your biotopes I wouldn't be here.

Cheers,

Ukaps, TFF, MFK, Theplantedtank, Shrimpnow, Ultimate Bettas, Bettabred, Aquatic Photography, blood parrotts forum, Use alot more, but can't remember the names of them.
 
The sites I frequent have been mentioned already, except for London Fish Keeping Club ( LFKC.co.uk ).
I like it because it is a regional site, so you can build face to face relationships as well as online ones.
 
Hi all,
I belong to loads, but the only ones I visit regularly, or post on, are UKAPS, Plecoplanet, Apistogramma forums and Planet Catfish. The quality of the posting on these is pretty good, with the exception of PP where it is very variable, but is useful because the South-West based L. No. keepers/breeders post on their.

Non fish wise I post on a few Yahoo natural history forums, mainly "Bristol Wildlife", UKmoths and UKBotany.

cheers Darrel

So would I be right in saying that it's mainly Journals that are posted on several forums to gain more opinions, and most other posts would tend to be confined to the regular forum? i.e. UKAPS ;)

Nope. I tend to use UKaps for mostly my journal and a few other aspects like lighting, TFF for general use, barrreport for learning (plus a little from UKaps), ASW for being a superb all round aquascaping site, BC aquaria because they invited me to join and it is a little more laid back than most forums. APC ONLY for journals, Planet Catfish and CichlidForums only for specific fish related items or general interest on those species.

I find that each forum has its good and bad points and some are better than others in particular area. i.e. UKaps and barrrpeport are about the best going in terms of the technical and science aspect. You know the nitty gritty like lighting, dosing, in depth stuff.

just two fishy type ones, here and aquaticcommunity regularly.

I have registered on the barr report, tfk, aberdeen fish keepers and a few others but rarely use them.


I'm also a regular on a few various car forums and I'm a rep on one of the busiest ones :)
 
TFF (banned), discus forums, cichlid forums, barrereport...Mostly on a reptile forum though.
