Html newsletter

by celticwraith Mon 25 Jan 2010 - 1:21

Our forum wants to put out a really nice newsletter, so i put one together. It seems to have a few bugs and I was wondering if someone could look it over and if it's not a major pain make some corrections. I know it has mistakes in the code, I just don't have the knowledge to fix them all. Here is the code and a link to what it look like. http://celticwraithaquarium.forummotion.com/jj-h11.htm Thanks

<h2>News</h2>
<p><strong>News From FWM</strong><br>The staff here at Freshwater Madness are always discussing ways to improve the forum.Over the past year we have made several changes to help make your visit to the forum a pleasant one.

This year we introduced our Freshwater Species Profile section, it's small right now, but with your help can grow much larger. We welcome all members that are interested, to submitting profiles they have written. All types of freshwater Species
Profiles welcome! Profiles can be submitted to the FWM Species Profile Submission forum, or wait and try your luck in the Fish Profile Contest. This contest is not monthly, so you would have to keep an eye out for it.
If you are not interested in writing profiles, but instead taking photo's is what you love and feel you have great photo's, try your luck in the Monthly Photo Contest. When possible we offer great prizes, but due to the cost we can't prizes for every contest, so remember to read the contest post.

Freshwater Madness has lots to offer our members other than contests, we are friendly, helpful and willing to learn from others, so log on today and join in.</p> <table width="100%" height="173" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="options">

<h3> Featured Article</h3>

<h2>Know which fish is right for you!</h2>
<p><b>Where people go wrong.</b><br><br>

Your kid says they want a fish, you say ok. A few years down the road you realize, wow this is work, and man is that fish getting big!. In this article i would like to stress a few points. Things people should think about before they even go to the store.

First i would like to point out after you research, research, research your fish first you'll need to consider what size tank you can house him or them in comfortably. Water also weighs a lot so make sure were you put it can handle the weight! Tanks can be cheap to expensive, if you skimp you will pay in the long haul.<img src="https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img11/1677/dscn30561891130vs9.jpg" width="160" height="151" align="right" hspace="10">

Filtration is another issue you will have to deal with. Some fish require more oxygen than others so you might need an air stone with a pump. Some need a lot of bacteria so you might want a bio wheel, or refugium. You might want a canister filter or a mechanical hang on back filter. There are canisters filters as well each with a different purpose, and different difficulty of use.

Decorations are something you will need to consider. Making your tank as close to the native surrounds your fish was caught at will make it happier and healthier. There are caves of many sorts, logs, driftwood, rocks, plants, and figurines to help with this. Your substrate should be close to native as possible also. This will help not only with there happiness but with there health.

The compatibility of fish you put in the tank is a must to know. You don't want to put a non aggressive fish with one that is aggressive.

<h3>Species Profile</h3>

<h2>Freshwater Species Profile: Farlowella catfish</h2>
<p><img src="https://i.servimg.com/u/f84/13/44/91/50/ss852513.jpg" width="160" height="151" align="right" hspace="10"><b>Scientific Name(s):</b> Acestra acus, Farlowella scolopacina, Loricaria scolopacina<br><b>Common Name(s):</b> Twig Catfish, Stick Catfish, Whiptail Catfish, Needle Catfish, Actus, Farlowella<br>

<b>Origin:</b> Central and South America<br>

<b>Family:</b> Loricariidae, the largest family of catfish<br>

<b>Order:</b> Siluriformes<br>

<b>Species Type:</b> South American catfish<br>

<b>Maximum Size:</b> 6-8 inches (15-20 cm)<br>

<b>Life Span:</b> 5-8 years<br>

<b>Natural Habitat:</b> This catfish thrives in the shallow, gentle flowing shore lines of Central and South America. They are right at home and blend perfectly among the scattered dead leaves, roots, sticks and twigs that cover the river beds.<br>

<b>Diet:</b> Algae primarily, but fresh sliced cucumber, dried seaweed sheets, algae disks, Blanched romaine lettuce and leftovers that make it to the bottom of the aquarium also be excepted. With algae being the primary diet its best to only add this catfish to an established aquarium.<br>

<b>Temperature:</b> 68-77 F (25-28 C)<br>

<b>PH:</b> 6.8-7.6<br>

<b>Minimum Tank Size:</b> 30 gallon (136.5 litres)<br>

<b>Tank Region:</b> You will find them grazing at all levels of the aquarium.<br>

<b>Temperament:</b> Very peaceful, gentle and shy towards their tank mates. Male Farlowellas are territorial towards other males. Males should not be kept together.<br>

<b>Possible Tank Mates:</b> These catfish are shy and will not compete for food so very peaceful tank mates are a must. Small, quite tankmates such as Tetras: Neons, Cardinals, Glowlights, Lemon, Black Phantom, and Harlequin rasboras, Cherry Barbs, Corydoras catfish, blind Cavefish, Zebra danios, Leopard danios and Dwarf African frogs to name a few are a good choice.<br>

<b>Filtration and Setup:</b> Farlowelles are very sensitive to water conditions. There is no way around it, if you plan on keeping this catfish you must be well experienced in good water quality control practices and perform frequent water changes. An established, well-aerated aquarium with a fine gravel or sand to allow for burrowing is preferred. Plenty of hidding places in and around the rocks, roots, Driftwood, and hardy plants will make this Catfish feel right at home.<br>

<b>Coloration:</b> They are a brownish color with a lateral dark stripes that run the entire length of its body.<br>

<b>Breeding:</b> (Egg layers) Females are slightly more robust and the males have whiskers. A well planted 78-80 F aquarium with dim lighting is recommended.</p><A style="TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.freshwatermadness.com/FWM-Species-Profiles-h30.htm">Read More Great Fish Profiles</A></p>
