I have a 20 gallon tank and want to purchase some fish. I am looking for something a little challenging. Also I am looking for an interesting fish, something more exciting than your average goldfish.

Please no dumb answers!

I have 3 hampsters and I found the one covered up and its dying... My question is what would cause it to die? It isnt very old and its habitat is perfectly fine.. My fiance and I suspected it though because it stopped eating.. Any ideas what would be wrong for it to die? Could this affect my other hampsters? Its laying there and breating slowing, with its eyes shut... I hope it goes soon so it can stop suffering.. Does this just happen out of nowhere..?? Plz answer.. Thanks!

Has anyone had any experience with multiple cat ownership where after traveling by car for three days that one cat would get hostile with the others? One of my cats has and I wonder how long it will take for him to get over this. It's as if he sometimes doesn't even recognize his own sister cat.

how do you capture a lizard/geico that is in your house to release it back outside. and how do you get them to come out of hiding from behind something? and are they harmful?

Are chihuahuas the only dog that burrow under blankets to keep warm? Is this a sign of tool use? If it is, could chihuahuas be considered the smartest dog breed? I have a miniature poodle who seems extremely smart, but doesnt ever burrow under blankets. But then he has much longer fur.

you scratch them at the base of their tail? I used to think my cat acted weird when I did that b/c he was born without a tail and I assumed it was some nerve endings going crazy. Now that I've been on YouTube though I've seen other cats with tails acting in a similar way. When you scratch him there he tires to lick the closest thing available and if there is nothing he just kind of twitches and licks the air....here are some vids of what it looks like from YouTube:

**About 15 sec into the first vid you will see what I'm talking about but it's just a short clip

I've had my hampster for 6 months or so and he was always happy, running on his wheel, etc. We had to move him to the basement a little over 2 weeks ago and since then he doesn't run on his wheel. All he does is eat and when he wakes up he comes out of his hut and sits in the corner where he pees and sleeps some more. Is there anything I can do? I can't keep him upstairs anymore, why is he acting this way and can I make him happy again?

I'm about to move back into my parents house again next April. They have a 6 year old Mini Dachshund named Curry who is very loyal and very possesive of me when I come home. No one is allowed near me. While living on my own I adopted a cat Puffy from the animal shelter. She is very laid back and easy going and is used to being on her own with me. She is about 6 years old to and only has her back claws. What would be the best way to introduce my posesssive dog to my sweet and loving cat. The dog has already killed a bird that my mom had as a pet years ago and at the vet he snaps at other animals. Yet when my friends kid comes over with their dog he is fine. I really feel to be safe we should buy a muzzle for the dog since he did kill a bird. I really don't want to give up my cat but sadly my parents say I will have to if they don't get along.

i recentlygot a kitten and my almost one year old dog gets along with him but likes to drag his poop into the living room. Why ?

Almost everytime he does something bad and I'm telling him no he gets this look on his face like he is going to bite me and he'll growl and sometimes he snaps at me. He even got me once and bruised my arm immediately. Funny thing is I have never even laid a hand on him.. but we did recently get him from the pound. Help please, don't want to have to take him back because he is a sweet dog, he's very lovable otherwise just when he gets mad he chews and when you tell him no he tries biting.
