I'm planning on getting a fish (one or couple of breeds) for an aquarium (either a salt or fresh water wish): any time of fish... Money or equipment (size and complexity) is not an option -- no matter how expensive it'll be...

What do I have to know about Salt and Fresh water fishes before I'll get one? How big can some get? For example: Lionfish, Pufferfish, Tetras and Goldfishes. Are there specific stores and/or locations where I can go for the "How to Care for Your Fish" Class? Which breeds can live in harmony with each other, without eating one another alive? How do I keep the fish healty and in perfect condition for months to come? What kind of aquarium do I get? Where is it supposed to be located in the house / appartment? What do the fish eat? If I'll give a fish a name will it like it? How can I make sure that the fish is alright? Is there a Fish Vet I can take it to? :)

Thank you so much for your help and assistance :)


P.S.: Can you teach a fish to do any tricks? :)

He has had medications & this did not work. Vet said to starve him for 48hours. This seemed to work for 10days or so. This is third time he has suffered with it in 2 years. The first time there was lots of blood in his stools and vomit. This time just in his stools and he was completley of his food. And he is obviously feeling and looking tired. Blood tests have been taken and they are negative. It is now poss vets would do xrays etc. Would probiotics help?

I have a Golden Retriever puppy (1 1/2 years old) and she climbs on the table and eats everything off of it when you're not looking for a second- I don't know what to do.

My first question. I have had my cat now for about 5 years.I treat her like a queen. She seems to be getting more and more scared of everything. There is constantly food on the floor from this. She constantly stares at the windows. Why is this happening?

tomorrow i'm going to my grandma's house for a week and her dog is always barking at me and growls every once in awhile. somebody told me it's not a big deal and the dog wouldn't hurt me since I do nothing to the dog. Others say to be careful. What can I do if that dog comes up to me and starts to growl at me or something? (By the way, this will also be helpful to know when I go on exercising around the neighborhood.)

We are picking up our puppy tomorrow from his foster home, and I'm just wondering about how long will it take to potty train him. They said he is still squatting when he urinates, indicating that he's pretty young. He is a Yellow Lab mix. Also, he isn't fixed yet, we have to take him in next week for his surgery.

I'd like to find a home for a sweet, loving lap-cat from Dallas who is FeLV and FIP+. She was found starving in a New Mexico motel parking lot and is too sweet to euthanize, is litter trained, and only wants to sit in your lap and purr for hours. Need an indoor home where she's it, or perhaps a companion to another + kitty. You won't be sorry, I promise!

I have a wonderful dog (he is 12 months old) who is a saluki/greyhound. He is very thin, all his injections are up to date, he is wormed regularly and he is fed good quality suitable food. Unfortunately his hip bones are still showing - is this normal? any advice on feeding him up slightly?

Ok, my husband has this cat that he's had since he was atleast 6. That makes this cat upwards of 19 right now. When we moved in together, his parents didn't let us take her (thinking she was too old and the car ride alone would kill her). After 6 months, his parents were so fed up with her urinating every where but her litter box they made us take her. That was a year ago. Now, we have tried every kind of litter and litter box under the sun. It's like she doesn't realize she's a cat and is too good to use the box. Half the time, she urinates on the carpet (we put plastic bags and paper down in the area she frequents) and maybe once a week she'll poop on the mat by the door. Is there anything else we can try to keep her deterred from the carpet? We've tried chemicals/spray that are supoosed to work, but they don't. PS- we also took her to the vet to check for infections or kidney degeneration and she's in tip top shape. HELP!!

My miniture poodle refuses to eat anything, even after going for a walk and running around. I tried giving her cooked chicken & all sorts of things, but all she'll do is sniff the food and turn around. I'm starting to worry that she is just plain anorexic. Are there any suggestions to make her more hungry so she'll eat?
