does anyone know of any decent forums where the majority of the members are from the US?
I have tried looking for one to join in addition to this one but it seems like the UK has a lot more fish lovers than the US!

About the right latitude here but definitely the wrong longitude, a bit far away in Illinois. There are many forums with both US and UK membership but I don't think you will find a better one for general fish keeping than this one. Some specialist forums are based in the US or the UK such as the British livebearer association site or the American livebearer site but I work on this site because it is the best I have found for a general hobbyist. I am living in the US, but am not provincial enough to worry about where the forum is located. I also enjoy a forum that is based mainly in BC Canada. This forum includes people from all over the english speaking world including members from Australia, the UK, Ireland , US and even places like Hong Kong, South Africa and India. One of the MODs is from South Africa. Why would anyone care where the host server is located anyway. This is not the 19th century when people worried overmuch about national lines defining activities. I am an old man but not too old to understand that this is a very small world and an even smaller hobby.

Me looking for those near me has nothing to do with thinking one geographical region is better than others....I am simply trying to find fish lovers near me so that I could have options of trading etc.....I have been struggling to find anyone near me who is interested in fish....my local fish club was a little disappointing to say the least....so I have been trying to find others who share my interest who I could possibly trade plants, fish etc

 

[shi24137]

AMEN!

 

[erk628]

Im a member of a couple other forums who are mainly people from the US. I dont want to get in trouble for posting other forums link on here so if your intersted PM and I'll send you the link. Overall though this is the best one I have found and the people here are a lot more knowledgeable then other forums. To mention a few BigC, NMonks, Wilder, Tolak, Old Man, waterdrop.

to me this forum is one of the best and nicest, however i do aggree that it sucks that there is absolutely noone to trade stuff with.

Let me give you all, in the US, a hint on where to look. Your best contact is always at your local fish club. There is our own listing on TFF here and there is another, not quite as up-to-date listing here.
