This is not meant to be having a go at anybody, rather I have recently been having issues when viewing the forum using tapatalk with way too many pictures added to members posts that really don't have anything to do with skf but are just memes etc. they cause a long wait for a page where you are trying to read the actual information or see pics if shrimp but constantly have to wait for images to load only to find its a picture of a dog or cat meme.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Is there any way we can tone his activity down a little. I mean a few in a thread is one thing but having it occur with every post is a bit over the too surely?

Thoughts? :)

In general the use of pictures in posts has been well received and appreciated by members as some light hearted fun. However, if this is causing the functionality of the forum to be reduced, this will be addressed.

Could any members (particularly those using tapatalk) post here to let us know if you are experiencing this issue?

To be honest, i don't use Tapatalk, but i often use my phone. The images simply don't load on my phone when i have bad internet connectivity, the text is still fine in most cases, however when i am on my pc, i do thoroughly enjoy the images and would prefer that they continue to be a part of the forum. I know this is pushing it, but is it possible to hide images, have a no image option for mobiles or have a 'load image' button just for tapatalk (i know there are limitations, but maybe its possible?).

I use Tapatalk and I haven't found pictures to be a problem. If I have a bad connection then I just read the text and worry about the pics when I get home or have a better connection.

The problem with that is I want pictures of shrimp and tanks and everything else to load just not this other stuff. Memes are all over Facebook instagram and every other social media out there. If they were of shrimp related stuff that would be one thing, but they are not. I'm not sure squiggle selects every image individually or if they are automated into the sig line. i wonder if its possible to block one users images?I enjoy squiggles info so nothing against the posts in general just the fact that it takes much longer for me to read a thread. Ill get halfway through and it jumps back and forth as the images continue to load and space out the text.Tap tap taparoo sent with tapatalk 2

I like the images too keep them coming Squiggle.

I use my ipad at night- when I'm in Bed!!!! and just use the AVG app instead of tapatalk app and have no problems at all down loading series of pictures. Could you try that instead?

Cheers

I'm not talking about being at home when on wireless network, that's no drama. Tapatalk is a mobile app, if I'm at home I'm on the Mac and that's also no problem. Only when out and about and with limited coverage some of the time it slows it down. I use tapatalk for half a dozen other forums and don't have a problem as they have rules on image posting like this.

I used to sit around 20-30% of my phone data usage by the end of the month. Last few have been >80%, I only use my phone data for browsing shrimp forums at work and uni...

Would be cool to have the images hidden and then load if wanted. I certainly get a chuckle out of a lot of them so don't want to see them go anywhere.

      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?

      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.
