I know i'll have to get a bigger tank for them, probably sooner rather than later. Right now they're in a 10gal tank. But how big can they get before I absolutely have to move them to a larger tank to keep them healthy. I know water changes are a must, especially in a smaller tank.

Also, after swimming around the tank for most of the day, towards the evening just before I shut the tank light off for the night they both started to calmly hover towards the top back corner of the tank. I figured maybe they were trying to get away from the light due to stress(one 15watt fluorescent on opposite side) then after I had the light off for a while I figured that's how they rested(slept). But I read through a handful of the question here and it said that they rest on the bottom. So why are they doing this exactly?

Could it be they're trying to get away from the flow of the power filter so they can rest easy? I'm just throwing out anything I can guess at the moment.

I'd appreciate any help.

There is one pad on 2 of the four paws that is swelling up and turning a reddish pink color. The vet gave her some pain killer and cephalexin 5 days ago and it is getting worse instead of better. Does anybody have a diagnosis and a cure for this problem?

I'm getting a Yorkie in late October and am trying to think of some names. It is going to be a male probably around 5 lbs. at maturity. I want really cute & names that aren't too common. I really like the names "Duke" and "Prince" but everyone I have talked to about it says that those are "names for big dogs" so now I'm on the quest to find one I really like...

One any dog can turn no one breed is any more likely. Pit bulls jaws are no different than any other dog they do not lock. Pits are strong and it is much harder to force them to open thier jaws. There is over 6 million pits in this counrty, some think there are more pits then any other breed. With that many if half of them trun on thier owners think how many pit attacks there would be every day. If you want to own a pit get a real one not some mix that you have no idea what thier true nature are. Pits were not frist bred for fight. They were bred for protecting the family of framers and thier families, they were known as the nanny dog for thier love of childern. They are used for police dogs, serch and rescue, detection dogs and service dogs. What worst is most people can't tell a pit from other large headed breeds. See if you can find one.

Fat-Fat drinks his water, but also seems to like pawing the water out of the dish, this is done on a regular basis. Does anyone know why a cat would paw water out like this on a regular basis?

Is it bad for cats also? And how much does it take to make them sick and/or die? Not that I'm interested in killing them, just wondering. Thanks!
