I think a verry general forum would be good

newfishguy — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:08:38 GMT

I think maby people in the hobby want to share stories about there fish, or there feelings about the hobby. I think like an open forum about any topic related to fish/the hobby or feelings of each

Fish Shows

Miller — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:56:48 GMT

I think it would be cool for fish breeders to be able to show their fish in a seperate page where judges will vote for the best fish. Just make sure you have different categorys to put different fish in. Such as guppies, platys, angelfish, etc.

New Picture Section

MtnFishBoy — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 11:22:28 GMT

I think that there should be a section for pictures of nonfish subjects, such as other pets or any really interesting picture.

I have searched most only sites and i am trying to search some local stores but, i can't seem to find any site selling them.Also i don't wanna buy the ecospheres and cut them open because for only 3 or 4 shrimp in a jar for like 65 dollars isn't worth it.Also the shrimp in the ecospheres don't breed they make it that way.

I like to share fish art! This site needs an art forum :)

creature_casey — Fri, 23 May 2008 09:29:31 GMT

I think this site having an art gallery forum would be a wonderful idea. I love sharing my artwork with people, especially my animal themed art. Please considder the idea of adding an art gallery forum to this site? Pleeeaase?:)

Username

Miller — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:24:37 GMT

Just wondering if it is possible to change your username.

Hello

Miller — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:22:32 GMT

I was thinking that there should be a way for the topic poster to minimize replys so that new people reading them will not have to read the ones minimized. They will know they are not relavent to the current discussion on the topic. If they want to read it they should be able to maximize them only on their computer.

Hello

Miller — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:17:01 GMT

I think that you need a seperate section in your forums for ponds. It seems like you got a section for everything except ponds. Thanks for all the work you have done.

Internet Explorer only compatibility

Miller — Thu, 08 May 2008 10:32:47 GMT

I cannot post pictures unless I use the internet explorer. On the mozilla firefox browser the browse window does not pop-up so you can post a picture. I found that I can post a picture on the internet explorer. Please change this so it will work on Mozilla Firefox also. Thanks

Add A forum for Equipment help.

fishtk75 — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:41:04 GMT

Can you add a Equipment Forum?
As I need help now for a air pump.
As with someone that deals with all the dealers have a inside help to find someone anyone that deals with AZOO?
I have a AZOO Battery Air Pump.
I put in the site what I have on the paper from the box for this old air pump but no luck also Googled and not luck.
Talked to the place where I got it no luck.
If anyone knows of a number to call. Or places who sell them to call.
I am think that AZOO Products if they go bad you throw it away and buy a new one type products.

Change RIP to fish specific pinned topics

Mindnova — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 06:30:10 GMT

I noticed Mr. lass starting a post on rams and stating he would like to get a thread going.

How about changing RIP to fish specific pinned topics, and pinning RIP in freshwater emergencies. Since most when posting about their pet passing would also maybe like to know if anyone has ideas on what happened.

The users or moderators could request a pinned species topic and then could build on the thread. This would allow us to have a special topic thread that would not get buried among general questions.

This would help compile knowledge into tight groupings instead of being all over the boards.

Thanks again.

Mindnova

I got a SUPERB idea!!!!!!!!

jfish13 — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 10:00:46 GMT

I think you should make there be certain days in different months that could be "member days" You could have "miniture contests" like have a scavenger hunt that lasts only one day and people could stay on longer thus making FC more active (it's been rather inactive lately) Then experts could write "small articles" about fish care ect. and there could be show and tell like show pictures of you're fish & ect. and then members can have in advance something aranged for them to show. And all this could be on 1 thread. It could be "Member Day 1.0" you can be creative about this and make it be once a month! ---And, I'm SURE a LOT more people will be active!:D:w00t:

Avatar

Miller — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:11:08 GMT

I think that fish channel should do like what dog channel did with their avatars that would be cool. Having the avatar store to buy new objects. What would be cool is if you could put your avatar in your efish tank.

New Way Reward Points

Miller — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 15:20:11 GMT

I thought that it would be cool if you could get points for getting somebody to join the club. Maybey by having a new members telling fish channel the person's email who invited him or she. Pherhaps you could get 1000 points for inviting somebody.

Suggestions for improvements

Miller — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 08:00:58 GMT

I really enjoy your club, but I think you should update your list of fish. Some fish that were missing from the list were serpea tetras, and headlamp tetras. Please update the list or just let us type the name of the fish.

just an idea

goose9 — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 10:33:14 GMT

i think there should be a area for breeding where people can ask other people about breeding...and share some secerts..and idea..i think it would be cool...

forum arrangement.

Lumberjack — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:29:39 GMT

combine the general and newbie forums.

create a livestock forum with subforums for the various fish types like cichlids, plecos, goldfish ect.

emergency

general

plants

livestock

cichlids

inverts

goldies

plecos

hardware

Warning!!

Miller — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:51:50 GMT

Dear Fish Channel
Wanted to tell you that people can cheat and get points by writing themselves ecards. I also wanted to tell you that you can take the quiz two times and still get points by doing the quiz at the beginning of the week and when they change the quiz. Just wanted to warn you.

more cool stuff for fishchannel

Tribs — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 15:52:15 GMT

Fishchannel could make a place where people who are not aloud to get their own acount can still do stuf .(example) make up your own ideas obout things. they could try it. they could have great ideas on how to do stuf that we maybe us (the people hou have acounts) could think of. So why not let them try to give fishchannel a boost.

Suggestion for Beauty Below the Surface

deepblue — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:56:51 GMT

I visited Beauty Below the Surface today for the first time. I see that you're encouraged to vote for a photo once per day. After looking at them all I happened to want to vote for one that was on the last page. To make it easier for me/us on succeeding days, you should make the webpage let us click on any of the pages available... ie, if there are 5 pages currently have 1,2,3,4,5 all clickable. Waiting for each to load now that I know 5 has the one I want is/will be a waste of my time and ...boring. Tomorrow if there are 7 pages, I'd want to look at the 2 new pages but skip the next four! Is this something your webmasters can do?

Just wondering

Miller — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:53:15 GMT

Just wanted to know how you get a pinned topic? Thankyou

signature

nautilus29 — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 22:06:26 GMT

I think it would be nice if there was a line inbetween a persons post and their signature. I find myself reading halfway through someones signature sometimes and thinking this doesnt make sence why are they saying this? and then It dawns on me that Im reading their signature.

Just a thought.

Quiz

dogdoc91 — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 07:16:18 GMT

I was just wondering how come the quiz is still the one that was there in February?

I gota idea...

xOXiDiZEx — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:33:30 GMT

Well idk exactly how this might work but i see a increase in the saltwater reef keepers here and it might be cool to set up a frag trading system on the forums or something... I looked at some other web sites and it seems very cool... I know i wouldn't mind paying shipping and it would save us some money insteand of going out n buying 100$ coral. Since it would be a trade we wouldn't rly ow anyone any money besides the shipping for the frag we traded for... Idk might be something you might wanna consider for your web site... ;)

Current Poll

ILuvMyGoldBarb — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:51:59 GMT

In the current poll, the question asked is "Do your fish let you touch them?" The choices are simply yes or no. However there should be a third option. "I don't try to find out." Personally I don't bother trying to find out if they will let me touch them.

Cichlid forum

hoppy — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 10:32:10 GMT

I was wanting to know if we could start a cichid forum cause I have three 2 blood parrots and an oscar sunny the bigger blood parrot pee wee the littler one and i havent got a name for the oscar any suggestions:):):):):):):)

equarium

FishCrazy95 — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 16:42:29 GMT

I was thinking that for the equarium that it should be a bigger tank and you should be able to breed your fish that you have in the tank. If we end up being able to breed them the babies should be original not one of the same kinds that you already had a choice of putting in the tank.;)

PICTURES

fishwhisperer — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 06:07:11 GMT

Is there any way to upload more than one picture at a time to your profile?

Sure would be cool if we could have a little gallery space.

Adding an Invertebrate forums

dmzldame — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:37:25 GMT

I think adding an invertebrate forum could help people share their knowledge about these animals and help others who may have questions about them.:)

More ways to get reward points

Cheapeeper — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 08:21:22 GMT

We need more ways to get reward points. I love all the quizes and games but there should be even more ways to get reward points. Icentives are always nice.

45 gallong long Tank.

2 Oscar babies

Fish Channel Chat

ILuvMyGoldBarb — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:50:45 GMT

Is there any chance of adding a chat feature to the site? It would be a lot easier to provide help to someone who needs it fast. It's also nice to have an interactive part of the site. Most of the good fish boards I have been on have a chat feature that is used on a regular basis.

Fish stores

RickR — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 14:44:10 GMT

Why do fish stores do the things they do? Was at one last week (where I am no longer welcome) trying to sell a 3 gal saltwater with 3 lbs live rock, and telling a customer the Mandarin Goby will work great for cycling the tank and will do well in it. I explained the gobies feeding habits and needless to say blew the sale.

Rating Stores online and real stores

MistressAlphaFemale — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 03:48:19 GMT

How about an area were we can rate how good or bad a store is. It can be online or a Real store. So if anyone one travels to another area they know where to go and where not to. Or who to use online and who not too. I think this would be a great help to all the community ;)

Just a thought

Pinned topics in Saltwater forums

filipem — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 06:41:38 GMT

I noticed that there a are lot of pinned topics with valuable information on the freshwater forums (especially in the beginner forum) with general facts and answers to the most FAQ's. I notice that the saltwater forums do not have the same information. I was thinking that pinned topics in the beginner forum an reefkeeping forum would really help a lot of people. Just a thought. :unsure:

Pond Forum

jfish13 — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:02:32 GMT

I think you should add a pond forum!

Pinned-Worthy Yet?

math-only aquarium — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 18:05:58 GMT

Ok,

My post in the beginner's section labeled "Freshwater Stocking Guide" has over 1,700 views--is it worth considering for becomeing a pinned topic? Just curious.

Idea for new forum !

octopuslover — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 07:56:59 GMT

I had an idea for a new forum so here it is. I think there should be a fish forum that has the names of a ton of fish so that if someone wants to talk about a type of fish they can. Tell me what you think .:)
