How about leaving it as Tankbusters but in the description say something along the lines of For fish that grow over 30 cm.
I think the problem with wrong posts in this forum is mainly cos some people don't know what a tank buster is, or think it is just a highly aggressive fish.

I agree that it needs to be made clear that a tankbuster is a larger fish, many new people don't even know what the term means.
I think that if your going to make concernable changes in one area, then potentially all areas need to be more closely looked at.
Perthcichlids actual intention I assume in it's infancy was to cater for cichlid keepers, the reality is however that apart from The perth koi society/club Perthcichlid is the only other aquarium fish club in perth (that i know about at least), it has gained fame slowly over time, and with the amount of shops pointing people this way, as well as just random off google people, Perthcichlid Forums at least have come to have to take the load of Perth aquarium keepers of many fish "other" than simply cichlids.
And I feel this is growing more and more, a simple case in point that a year ago i couldn't sell moss or shrimps on perthcichlid at any price, Yet i could sell the whole lot to perth people on Aquariumlife in minutes..
However now, the inverse is true, if only for the classifieds there is a variety of fishkeepers with other interests making regular visits to the site.
There is alot of perth people on Aquariumlife, Plecofanatics, discusforums ect ect which would make useful members of perthcichlid, but they may feel we don't cater for what they are interested in, and in doing that, they not neccessarily ever become interested in cichlids, and therefore you've lost a future potential club member by default.
This leads me to suggest that the overall direction of the sites actual classifications or expansion is that it begins to cater for a wider more specific range of fishkeeping in general, this is probably the last thing die hard cichlid keepers in the club want to hear. At some point you have to make the decision is perth cichlid just about cichlids or is it just about keeping fish in general regardless of what they are?
The reality is that the industry has become highly diversified, this has ment more people getting interested in fishkeeping, because this diversification has led to more niches within fishkeeping itself. From tiny little 10 litre aquariums with a couple of shrimps to thousands of litre aquariums holding fish that grow a metre long or more and everything in between.
If i was to make a new series of sections i'd probably come up with something "like" or "similar to" this, obviously it has to be thrashed out.
African Cichlids
South and Central American Cichlids
Discus and Angelfish (yes i realise these fit into the above topic, but they are a topic on there own most will agree)
Large Fish and Tankbusters
Small fish, shrimps and general community fish
Marine Fish
Angfa
Ponds and Coldwater Fish
In a totally different section
I would shift the technical, and fish health, and probably add a planted tank section, and a equiptment section, water parametres ect.
In terms of growing the site further, and ultimatly increasing the clubs membership i think it's probably a good idea to begin to cater for these new niches as they appear.
the reality is that most of us who come on the site, mostly do keep cichlids, but also many other types of fish, realistically tank busters are not always cichlids the point of this whole discussion is case in point.
anyway sorry for the huge post.
