The water was starting to get cloudy, so I did a 50% water change, but it's still around the same level of cloudiness (I use instant tapwater conditioner). Any suggestions as to why this happened? How can I fix it? How can I avoid this in the future?

I have a 9 month old guinea pig named Chippy. He weighs 2 pounds and he eats just fine. But the problem I am having is he has white stuff on him! It's like guinea dandruff! He's had it since I got him in last December. I never went to the vet cause I thought it'd go away, but it didn't. One day, it was terrible. It was all over him! Little white specks all over his back. I think he may have a fungus infection, but I won't believe that until someone tells me. I also think I should bathe him, but I have read a book about them that says do not bathe a guinea pig unless you MUST. Someone please help me, I do not want to loose another guinea pig!

I've had my fish for about 7 months. He's been a healthy fish up until two days ago, when I found him floating at the top of his bowl. At first he was floating upright, he would still swim, and seemed really lethargic, but he has gotten worse. He's floating on his side at the top of water, and he looks like he might be having trouble breathing. I don't see any kind of fungus on him, I don't keep him with other fish so he has not been injured. I've looked up illnesses for betta's but nothhing really matches his sypmtoms. I really love my fish and I don't want to see him die. Please help.

The size ranges from sand grain size to very tiny pebble. Say pin head to small nail head size. Bigger than a salt grain, coarse sand size about. They don't cover the bottom, there are maybe 20 or so in there at any given time. They are heavy, the syphon won't pull them out very well. I have only glass and hard black river rock with a mostly bare bottomed tank, that's why they are so noticable. Fish pick them up and spit them back out, so they aren't edible.

I always wondered that. Alligators' sex are determined by the temperature that their eggs are kept at, and I was wondering the same for guppies. Even then, are guppies born or are their eggs laid then they hatch? I wouldn't know for guppies because for other fish it's eggs, and then people say guppies are born. I dont know. I breed the guppies I have and all the babies I have had born turned out male, so i had to keep on getting females, when they die, from the pet store.

I have a yorkshire terrier male who constantly whines even when being held. I think he wants to go down or something but then I can't do what I want to do. And I don't want to put him in his baby pen because he whines then too. Any suggestions?

Ok...my uncle has a tank of fish (55 gallons) He recently bought a Pacu because he is going to give the goldfish to a friend who has a pond...I used to have goldfish in ponds and they thrived!! They were great. So anyway, my very docile fish Daltry is getting eaten alive. When I kept him and my other goldfish, Doyle, together Doyle would try to bite his tail off. Now in the big tank the Pacu is trying to bite his whole tail off. So I removed the fish but he almost died becasue he was laying on his side not moving. So I had to put him back in the 55 gal tank. Ive read online that Pacus aren't aggressive unless provoked. There is also a rather large oscar who only bothers the small fish and my goldfish is rather big. Anyone know why this is happening?

Hello, I've had my aquarium for some time now and I want to change the gravel as it is starting to go a little manky. Could someone clarify for me if I should use a lighter or darker gravel to bring out the best colours out of my fish?

Many Thanks
