The new SKF Classified app is now live. This is a premium and above member benefit. The current classified forums will shutdown over time as we move people to this new format. There are still a bunch of categories that are missing so please list them here for me to add.

One thing to note is that tapatalk doesn't support it. It's a tapatalk thing but the mobile skin for the site supports it just fine so if you need to access it via your phone, use the browser and you'll be fine.

Have just added a new feature to classifieds that will now also show you other items by that seller:

Guys, we seem to be forgetting that we have a code of conduct that applies to sales. This ensures that both parties are satisfied and reduces the chances of a deal going sour. I've added a new field to the listings but for existing sales, buyers should confirm with the sellers that the SKF CoC applies.

Nogi,

I know where the COC that applies to sales is located.

But not everyone might know where it's located now. You need a link to the thread somewhere in classifieds, or next to the Agree yes/no/na box.

I see you've added a banner.

 

The COC is also very Shrimp oriented. 

It needs to apply equally to equipment, plants, fish, fertiliser, shrimp food or any number of other things that we sell.

For example, DOA policy might not apply to food or fertiliser - these can be in the mail system for weeks and still arrive in a fit-for-use condition.

But it needs to be clear if DOA applies to equipment or plants.

For example, 2nd aquarium light that was working arrives DOA - how is this addressed??

 

Do we have any lawyers, or law students that can improve on the COC wording?

Yes it is very shrimp oriented and probably due to the origins of this forum. Now that we are slowly bringing members with other interests (fish, etc...) perhaps it is a good time to review the CoC. Can't comment on the legalities but the intent of the CoC was to introduce "Good Practice" when trading in our community. This was born out of the scams that were being reported in other parts of the net within our little hobby.

 

Happy to revisit the wording, if someone wants to start a thread with a new draft we can take it from there. For the moment, the current CoC is better than not having one at all.

At the base of the mobile skin screen, on your phone, there is a button to take you to full version, that's how I view it! Can view everything on the go!

I've removed the mandatory requirement for images for now so that WTB ads can be posted without needing pics. Pics are still required for items for sale but I can't enforce it via the system (it's a global all or none setting). If we start getting sale ads with no pics, I'll need to turn it back on. So for now, enjoy the non-requirement of images for wanted listings.

      Shrimp and meds containing gentian violet

      By ngoomie · Posted

      Alright, I've done a bit more research on gentian violet's cancer-causing potential but I haven't yet done research on malachite green's to compare. But from reading the California propositon 65 document about GV (North Americans incl. some Canadians will recognize this as the law that causes some products they buy to be labelled with "known to the state of California to cause cancer", including the exact product I bought) it seems that the risk of cancer is related to internal use, either injection or ingestion. Speaking of ingestion, I think GV bans mainly relate to its use in treating fish/shrimp/etc. which are intended for human consumption, because of the above. And in countries where GV isn't banned for this purpose, it does seem to get used on various species of shrimp without causing any issue for the shrimp themselves (at least enough so for shrimp farming purposes). See the following: In February, the FDA Began Rejecting Imported Shrimp for Gentian Violet and Chloramphenicol (2022 article by Southern Shrimp Alliance) FDA Starts New Calendar Year by Refusing Antibiotic-Contaminated Shrimp from Three BAP-Certified Indian Processors and Adding a BAP-Certified Vietnamese Processor to Import Alert (2024 article by Southern Shrimp Alliance) Southern Shrimp Alliance and some other organizations have tons of other articles in this vein, but I'd be here for a while and would end up writing an absolutely massive post if I were to link every instance I found of articles mentioning shrimp shipments with gentian violet and/or leucogentian violet registering as contaminants. That being said, I know shrimp farmed for consumption and dwarf shrimp are often somewhat distantly related (in fact, the one time a shrimp's species name is listed that I can see, it's the prawn sp. Macrobrachium rosenbergii, who at best occupies the same infraorder as Neocaridina davidi but nothing nearer), but this at least gives a slightly better way of guessing whether it will be safe for aquarium dwarf shrimp or not than my bladder snail anecdote from the OP.

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I would hazard a guess that perhaps those eggs were unfertilized and thereby unviable? Did the eggs change colour, usually yellow to grey as the yolks used up, or any eyes in the eggs. Is your water ok, using RO remineralised and the parameters in range, as I have heard others say that if the water isn't good it can 'force' a molt? How is it going overall, do you have a good size colony in the tank, you may have reached 'maximum occupancy' as a tank can only support so many occupants.

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      Hello folks,  The current problem I am having is that my Taiwan bee shrimp are molting before all their eggs have hatched.  Often the shrimp keep the eggs for 40+ days.  During that time, they lose about half or so, either due to dropping or duds or whatever.  Shortly before molting they look to have about a dozen left, and then they molt with about half a dozen eggs still on the shell.  Then the other shirmp will come and eat the shell.  These last few times, I have been getting around 0-3 surviving babies per batch.  I figure I can make the eggs hatch faster by raising the water temperature more (currently around 68F, which is already a few degrees higher than I used to keep it) or make the shrimp grow slower by feeding them less (protein).  Currently I feed Shrimp King complete every other day, and also a small dab of Shrimp Fit alternating days.  Maybe I can start alternating with more vegetable food like mulberry?  or just decrease the amount of food?

      Shrimp and meds containing gentian violet

      By ngoomie · Posted

      Yeah, cancer risk was a thing I'd seen mentioned a lot when looking into gentian violet briefly. I kinda just figured it might only be as bad as the cancer risk of malachite green as well, but maybe I should look into it more. I've been doing a pretty good job of not getting it on my skin and also avoiding dunking my unprotected hands into the tank water while treating my fish at least, though. Maybe I'll just not use it once I'm done this course of medication anyways, because I know a store I can sometimes get to that's pretty distant carries both malachite green and methylene blue, and in pretty large quantities.

      Can't help you with Gentian Violet, sorry. It is banned in Australia violet for potential toxicity, and even possible cancer risks. I thought it was banned in Canada as well. At least, you now know why there isn't much info on gentian violet medication and it's use. But keep an eye on the snails after a week. If it affects the snails, it might not kill them immediately. So keep checking for up to a week. Much safer options out there. No point risking your own life over unsafe products.
