I bought a betta splenden and i heard that the pH should be 6.8 - 7.4 but how would i know the pH of my tank water, like is there a special thing i need to test it? And is the water conditioner for that?

I would like to start giving my Yorkie some soft puppy food mixed in with his hard food as a treat for one of his meals per day. I am very concerned with nutrition since he is so little, so I thought I would get an opinion on what is best for Yorkies?

Thanks!

I've heard that they do and I'm just wondering because my grandma has psoriasis and he always goes up to her and licks her sores and then in about a day they start to look better and stuff so yeah if you can I would love if you could give me some websites that could prove what you say.

For the moment my second 10 gal. tank is a nursery for my guppies. In a few weeks my guppies will be mature enough to keep in the main tank where all the guppies and other fish are. As soon as i move them back into the original tank i want to get a male Betta, then after a month or a half I want to get a female. i know they'll breed, and though they will eat their children, I'd like to have more than one to save space. If by any chance one of the babies survives and it is a male, will he and the father fight and kill eachother? Or will that baby have to be a damn good hider to be able to mature? And if the baby is female and it survives will she and the mother fight? Also, I dont have real plants in that tank for the bettas, so will they still be ok if they get fed Betta food? One more question: will the Betta be ok and not agressive to a Plecostomus Catfish in that tank with them? http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottkinmartin/377302275/ and do people sell female Bettas at pet stores?

My young green masked lovebird is now 11weeks old and I'm unsure about the weaning. I've weaned a lovebird before and that was actually quite easy, only this one wants nothing to do with anything other than his formula and some of his treats. I'm quite desperate, since I have to go away for a week at the end of June and can't take him with me. My fiancé can feed him but we can't keep feeding him forever.
If anyone has a link to a site or some useful advice that I could use I would appreciate it very much. Plus you could get 10 points =)

I will say one thing, diagnosis and diseases are not my strong points in any way and I need HELP. This is pretty much an emergency I think. My Yellow tailed arowana who's occupied my 75 gallon tank, established, water chemistry reading 0's across the board started to develope white blotches on his scales about 10 days ago I think. Arowanas will sometime go through a color change as they grow. Last night I noticed one of the scales in that area appeared to be a little red as if cut or bleeding. I got home from work today and found him to have more redness over the majority of that side, his eyes appearing to shrink back in his head. I have mailed MM direct but if anyone has seen this before please I need to know what to treat and how.

I mean... I love Pitbulls, and I DO think they get a bad rep... but maybe some of it is deserved? I mean, you hear all about it, everywhere. "My Pitbull just snapped, and went berserk on some little kid." Yes, some of the sweetest dogs I have ever met in my entire life were Pitbulls. I believe they can manage to be great pets. But it seems that so many Pitbulls just snap at people for no apparent reason.

What's up with that?

For all you Doberman owners out there. I am a first time owner and he is the best dog I could have. But the poor thing has pimples on his chin and I don't know what to do. Can I put a something on it? My husband says pop them, I say no for it may lead to infection. Do petstores have doggie zit cream? LOL He is on a good nutritional, balanced diet. His pet food is Nutro Natural Choice for Larger Breed Dogs. He gets vitamins and the occasional liver snack. What can I do about these zits? Thanks!

He has a bunch of open sores and pus-filled lesions (sp?) all over his body. Has anyone seen anything similar in their rats?

See my previous questions about what happened, basically I had a very well trained dog, for some reason he snapped and bit a kid and was put to sleep today.

I went in and said goodbye and when I told the vet I can't be;eive this happened he looked me right in the eye and said, "what do you expect? its a pitbull."
