All~

Practical Fishkeeping magazine are running an online poll to decide which of three articles they feature in the April issue. The choices are:

Bleher on Rainbowfish
Ros (and a bit from me) on and
Williams on Amphilophus

Now, I'm a great fan of all these articles, but I'd like to fly the catfish flag (and especially the "ugly" catfish flag), so would ask anyone and everyone to go visit the site and vote as you will (but for the catfish ).

Overviews of the articles are here: http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/p ... blogid=241 and you just click on teh "vote for this article" link under the article you wish.

Please feel free to post here if you wish to tell us what you voted for, why and indeed if you didn't vote.

I'd like to turn it around as the catfish article is not out in front...

Cheers,

Jools

My vote is in. But you and Ros are a bit behind Mr Bleher.

Voting done

Cats are way behind rainbowfish

I would hate for anyone to repeatedly mass-vote , to artificially swing things......

Of course, we'd want the outcome to be a fair result. However, I wasn't sure but don't you have to be registered with the site to vote?

I am, so can't say if those who aren't registered can vote - anyone???

yes, you must register before you can vote. which is why i didn't vote. sadly, but true.

Yup, fair enough, we just need as many who are (or can be bothered registering) to get their votes in!

Jools

It doesn't appear to allow you to vote more then once. Just in case anyone was interested. Just purely as a test situaton I tried. The pie percentage doesn't change.

29.3%
Getting there....

Nice one, keep 'em coming!

Jools

yes, you must register before you can vote

unfortunately that's not the case.
registrating would be free, but this isn't; it's a subscription with a price tag.....and I ain't subscribing.

after the debacle with another (Dutch) fishkeepers community (of wich I was a paying member for almost a decade) I decided not to do that anymore

bummer, cause I'd gladly vote for Jools' article. but I ain't committing myself financially to something I have no ties with.

Sid - i'm registered & i definately haven't paid anything! Trust me my dad's a Yorkshireman.....

You DO NOT have to pay to register (to use the website fully). You DO have to pay to subscribe (to get the magazine).

check;
my bad

guess I didn't found the proper link.


damn, senility is creeping up on me. it must be the lack of beer I suffered from for the last few weeks

Hi

I registered and voted for Rainbow.... no I am joking of course...I went up for cichlids...


More seriously the CAT has 54 votes so far...Rainbow 102...we can beat them..we are better than this...
Come on guys...with the number of person here...we should be leading by a wide margin...

Cheers
Yann

I voted hoorah!

Not just because it's catfish you know, I think Blehers stuff is mostly mind numbing drivvel.

Matt

I voted for catfish ... anything but rainbowfish.

Its cats 57 Bleher 103 !! We are creeping up!! C'mon everyone!

*bump* !

I would vote for the ugly catfish but I won't register.
I am already registered for accessing the site and posting comments but I guess that isn't good enough to vote.
Rainbows are pretty...just like goldfish are pretty. Rainbows and Rift Lake Cichlids are so boring.

I have the free registration, and YES, you can vote with it.

I never used the site before because I thought it was a paid site. There is the free and paid registration option.
Free option allows one to vote, and there's good info to be had as well ... I'm glad I registered.
