My upside down catfish is breathing heavy and folds his body in half. He is in a 50 gal tank with other upside down cats, cory cats, and tetras. All water tests are within normal limits and all other fish are acting fine. One of the other upside down cats is breathing hard but not folding in half. Any ideas as to whats going on?

Recently I have sort of jumped into a fish aquarium without doing a proper amount of research first. In our tank we have two small african drawf frogs, 2 fancy guppies, two x-ray something fish, and two larger orange guys (Forgive my ignorance with actual names). The Mrs. wanted some neon tetras, so we added two to the tank. One died the next day. The other won't leave the bottom. So I added two more Neon Tetras hoping the original one would feel more comfortable with others of his own kind. Now all three just sit at the bottom, the new two swim around some, but not much. Our tank is typically 78-80 degrees, and we do use aquarium salt. The other fish seem to be fine, and healthy they all eat and swim around actively.

I'm not sure what we should do. I'm open to opinions?
Could the neon tetras be scared of the other larger fish in the tank (they are the smallest in the tank)?
If they have the dreaded neon tetra disease could they give this to other non-neon tetra fish in the tank?

Today I was out and about when i saw at a pet store a puppy sale so my family went in. Their were maany puppies their that i loved but I loved a miniature Dixon. It was a puppy adn very sweet I held it for about 10-15 minutes and it never wanted to get down or to bite me or anything. I played with it in a small room and I was really cute, and sweet. It only barked when a hamster ran by. (in a cage ofcourse) ANYWAY!!! lol........ I am trying to convince my mom to me it it. I need to know these things;

1. Do they get sick often
2. How long does it take to potty-train them
3. Do they fight with other dogs (I have a beagle)
4. Will they chew on things during the day when i am in school
My dad and mom work during the day.

And anything else about them

My puppy likes to go underneath beds and crawl around...She barks and growls and stuff while she's under there. It's kind of weird because if I can't find her, that's usually where she is. I'm not exactly concerned, but should I be? Is this normal behavior for any puppy? She's 3 months old, I might add.

My cat (9 years old) has sneezed a few times in the past two days. She's never sneezed before and I was wondering if I should be worried? She's not sneezing a lot, maybe about six times that I've noticed in two days.

She's a house cat, doesn't interact with other animals and other than a few sneezes, she seems absolutely fine. She's not off her food or anything but I just read a few posts about cat flu and now I'm worried.

She never leaves the house and I don't want to take her to the vets if it's not necessary because I don't want to take her near any animals who might actually pass something more serious onto her.

Nothing's changed in the house so I don't thinks he can be allergic to anything. She does have long hair though and that might have irritated her, it sometimes gets in her eyes.

Will taking her into the bathroom when the shower's running help? I read that somewhere.

Thanks!

I have a 55 gallon aquarium which I want to change into a marine/saltwater tank. I don't want to cut holes in it just in case I later use it as a freshwater again. Is there a way to do the plumbing by not actually changing the tank in any irrevesible way? Also, what kind of sump do I need for a 55 gallon tank? I can easily get a 10 gallon tank, but will that be enough? Also, what kind of filtration should I use?

I have a Jack Russell Terrier, just over a year old. I live in an apartment complex where a lot of people own dogs.

When I am walking my dog and he spots another dog, he wildly tries to pull me in that direction. If the dog is close, my dog lets out loud shrill screams and continues to try to pull me. It is almost impossible to control and its embarassing.

Other than that he is very well behaved for a JRT and he is real smart. Just a little wild in certain situations, this being the worst.

So what can I do to control this behavior?

I have a dog that has bitten one person one time because the person made the dog in fear for his life. What I want to know, is if I want to give this dog away, and I explain in full everything the dog has done and everything about the bite incident, is there a way for me to give him away and not be legally responsible if he bites the person I gave him to, or anyone else while under the control of that person? - Geez, I hope that made sense. Thanks!

I'm going to try and explain this the best I can. Ok, we have around 15 or so outside cats, 1 of them, Tom, is really mean to the other cats and is protective over the food and sometimes won't let them eat. Anyway, lately, I've noticed a few of our cats have been losing fur. Under 1 of our cats, almost all of the fur has fallen out..and his legs are losing fur, too. Another cat, a female, is getting really skinny and losing some fur. The others are all pretty fat. We don't know if the mean cat, Tom, might be fighting with them and keeping them from eating and stuff or what else could be causing this sudden fur loss and weight loss (in 1 cat)... Other than those two things, they all seem fine. Though, tonight, we brought them all inside and two of them were covered in snow so I don't know if that might have something to do with it, too...Also; we have dog houses outside that the cats use, but again, I don't know if Tom might not be letting them into the dog houses. Help, please? =[

I have a west highland terrier, approx 8-9 months. A male. He is already toilet trained and all this times goes on well. But suddenly this 3 days he started to pee on my bed, and on my boyfriend's bed which is in another room. The odd thing is, if he has a bladder infection, why the only odd places he peed on except for his dog toilet is my bed and my boyfriend's bed ? He has peed on my bed twice in 3 days and on my bf bed once.
Is he marking his territory ?
My dog, westin, sleeps with me everyday on the bed. Allowed to lay on my bf bed.
what is happening here?
