my tank is over a year old now and is cycled. I have about 12 african cichlids. the brown algae is out of control. im so tired of scraping it just to have it come back in a week and keep all levels low. i do weekly water changes. apparently im not supposed to have an algae eater because the cichlids are supposed to eat it but they wont. maybe because its brown and not green. so what do i do? go get an algae eater (they are not supposed to be very compatable with cichlids).

Does anyone else litterbox train their toy breed? If so, what kind of litter do you use. I presently use the pine wood pellets, but the puppy makes a mess of them sometimes. I've heard of using clumping cat litter, but wondered if it's safe. TIA>

Ok i just got a new parakeet. He was a little scared when he came but then he got used to it. It looks like its a few months old. I bought him some toys and he plays with them but lately he has just sat on his swing and doesnt even eat or drink. And i started hand feeding him. Does he need to learn to eat from his trays??? Or drink because he is still little.

I have had my cat for 9 years, and he has never had a problem with going potty outside of his litter box. He has always had a high level of anxiety, but since I got married in the spring, he has been more anxious than ever. He has starting urinating on my husbands shoes, clothes, or anything left out in the open. But never my things. I have taken him to the vet, and he is physically healthy. I have tried giving him extra attention, and spending more time with him. I have also tried Feliway to help him relax, but nothing seems to be working. Is there anything I can do to stop this behavior?

We are going to be getting two kittens. They will need to be indoor cats. We want to ensure they are content. Would you reccomend boys or girls? Or one of each? Which sex (if any) is more suited to the indoor lifestyle?

Thanks

I got this gorgeous pup from the pound & they thought it was German Shepherd & Chow. But he's gotten a bit older and the Kees markings have developed on him plus the Kees fur style AND the vet says he sees a lot of schnauzer in him. I have never had either type of dog and am curious how he will look and behave when an adult. He is 11 weeks now.

I noticed this morning that my cockatiel was rubbing himself on a branch. I was just wondering if anyone knew what he was doing and why? He's about two years old and I think he's male but he's never been sexed so I'm not positive on that. He was kinda sitting on the branch and rubbing his bottom back and forth. This is a serious question and I would appreciate serious answers only. Thanks much!

Things you might need to know to help me:
He's an albino, about two inches when he is walking (plus the tail), looks like 1/2 inch when sleeping, LOVES cheddar cheese, refuses to eat swiss, falls asleep in my hand, chews on the outside of sunflower seeds until he gets them open, then he wants nothing to do with them, he was going to be snake food (this snake crawled into our house so we wanted to feed it before we let it go so I told my dad that it would eat 3. I knew it would only eat 2 because it was not that big of a snake. So I put them in 1 at a time and made sure I didn't put him in.), and one last thing (for you people who don't get it) HE is MALE!!!

So judjing by all the information given, can you please help me think of a name for him???


AND THE LAST THING I WANT TO NAME MY MOUSE IS MICKEY!!!

first of all, my husband isn't mean...he just doesn't want a pet right now. he is currently deployed to the middle east, and i decided it would be a good time for me to get a dog. my friend had one they didn't want anymore(they already have 3 dogs), so i decided to adopt him. he is a 1 1/2 year old yellow lab, named duke(yeah, you guys probably know me by now..i keep asking so many questions about him! hehe). duke is so cute and lovable, i didn't want to see them take him to the pound. my hubby said to wait until he got back and we could discuss getting a dog. well, i begged him over the phone and he gave in. but now every time i talk about duke, he doesn't show interest. should i really care what he thinks? he is worried duke will be attached and protective of me, and show aggression towards him when he returns..that doesn't bother me, i am kinda expecting it, since i am duke's owner. i really love my dog, and right now i am not caring what my husband thinks. is that ok?

Is there anyone out there who has traveled with dogs across states in a U-haul??? We have two dogs (about 70 lbs each) and are moving from Denver to New Orleans at the end of the year and can't afford to fly them out there so we were considering putting them in the U-haul in Kennels with, of course, food, water and blankets with frequent stops. I just dont see any other options to get them to our new home. Any ideas???

It this there is something wrong with my 3 month old kitten. She likes to sniff my crotch and she tried to lick my nipples. Also last night I was engaging in intercourse with my boyfriend and I look up and she's watching us. Then when she sees that I saw her she tried to go for my crotch again. What does this mean? Also when I try to go to sleep at night she cries when I won't let her getin the bed with me, then when I do let her get in the bed with me purred extremely loud and kneeds me, and if I wake up 2 hours later, she still doing it. Again serious answers only please.

X-rays done to head areas showed some erosions on nasal bone areas and vet concluded could be due to infection or cancer. He was diagnosed 3 days ago n put on antibiotics. Anybody can tell me how to tell if the nasal discharge is because of FIV, cancer or other secondary infections ? Blood count is still good. How can I tell if he's suffering from cancer ? And which stage of FIV is he at ? Vet wasn't very clear. He's not breathing comfortably because of the blood discharge and is not eating. We are force-feeding him with food paste. Didn't pee for 1 day nor poo for 2 days. Any answers to my questions or advice is appreciated. Thanks. Due for follow-up check up this Sunday.

for the past, week or so, my kitty (about 7 weeks old) has done nothing but lay around and wants to be held. the other 2 that i have, same age, are running around and are healthy. shes lost so much weight you can like see her ribs. and now just today she doesnt even want to be held. she wont eat food, and i have warmed milk, cold milk, everything--she just wont eat. she can only go a few steps before she has to rest, her eyes are so sad looking....i dont know what it is or how to get her to eat. its so sad just looking at her. is it possible that she CAN have depression, or should i be worried about distemper?? or could she just possibly eat something bad (they are outside cats)....i just dont know.....
