I started a guppy tank awhile back and these black snails just appeared in there. Since then they have bred like crazy and we have over 2 dozen. Well, I just noticed a white thing and thought it was a fish that died but upon closer view, its a white snail! Since I only have black mystery snails, where did this white one come from and is this something that happens often? Should I keep it seperate?

we bought a house and the previous owners gifted us their fish tank. it's an 100 gallon, maybe 125 gallon.. there are 4 blood parrot cichlids (about 6-8 inches each), a tiger barb and an 18-20 inch pleco. he's an older fella (about 10-14 years) and i'm worried that he's not getting enough to eat. i put a leaf of lettuce attached to a rock but the cichlids have gotten to it first and the pleco seems unsure of it. i've plopped in dried algae tablets but the cichlids get to those, too. i know having a pleco this size is very rare, but i'm hoping someone can give me some suggestions. thanks!

I'll give the 10 points to the person who can tell me the most goldfish facts. A fact that I want to know is: How much memory do goldfish have, or: How do you tell the difference from a male and female goldfish, and others.

My boyfriend was in a pet store and they had a new animal, a supposed miniature fresh water dolphin. It apparently grows up to 24 inches and they insisted it was actually a dolphin. I cannot find any information about such a species and am thinking that it is probably just a fish that looks like a dolphin (i.e. rainbow sharks are actually a cat fish), I would love to know more about it, if anyone has any information. It would seem to me that if it were an actual dolphin, it would be cruel to be selling them as pets, never mind illegal.

My girl cat is 9 years old. She has been fixed, and she never goes out. A couple of days ago, she was making all kinds of weird noises until I saw her face to face with a boy cat outside in the backyard. The only thing separating them was the mosquito screen. She went CRAZY but then he left and she was a normal kitty again. Well, she just pooped on the coutch that is in my sunroom, and she peed on the loveseat in my sunroom, all today. She has never been bad, and she always uses her cat litter. Is this something that she is going to do again and again? Do I have to ban her from the sunroom? I need help. Thanks for your comments.

I have always heard it bothers fish when you tap on their tanks. Is this true?

one cat is male, and is 6 mo. the other is female, and is about 3 mo. obviously the male needs to be neutered, but thats all me and my boyfriend can afford. we will do that soon. the male we got from a friend who got him from his litter. the female we found wandering around outside, with her ribs showing, meowing at us so we gave her food. then she hung out arund the house, and we would pet her. we finally agred to make her a part of our family, and she and the male cat get along great, they sleep together and play and clean each other. but, since she is a stray, is there a high possiblity she could have something? or that if she does, she could give it to him? does she/they really need thier shots if they are both now indoor cats? (they never go outside - its not a safe neighborhood, someone may kill/hurt them for fun). I need a VETS opinion, and maybe some statistics, too. i want to know what the possibility is of my new friends actually needing veterinarian care.

thanks so much!!

We adopted a new cat about a week ago. He is a seven year old. He has been hiding since we got him, and on the rare occasion I do get to pet him, he purrs and seems to like it. He will not come out, except when we all go to sleep. I would like to show him some affection so that he can see I won't hurt him, but I also don't want to force him out. Any ideas of how I can calm this poor thing down?
