I do it textbook: 20% water change, check ph, check temp, add water conditioner/dechlorinator and wait 10 minutes to put it in the tank, vacuum the gravel, add a little diluted aquarium salt to the water before it goes in, I don't mess with the filter, and I slowly drizzle the water into the tank so as not to put the fish into shock. The last time I said I wasn't going to clean it anymore but the water level got low and I gave in. I went 3 weeks before I last cleaned it and no mortalities till yesterday when I cleaned it. I have a dead fish. Just 1. Never 2 or more. It's ALWAYS just 1 fish that dies. Help me! Do I need to just quit cleaning the tank?

I have 2 aquariums, i got a java fern for each because i was told they were an easy fast growing plant, but i think there dying, they have dark spots on some of there leaves, so I'm thinking they need some fertilizer, we don't have a pet store around here that i can get to, so I'm kinda stuck with walmart, does anyone know if walmart has a fish-safe fertilizer? do you know what its called or what i should look for?

Here's the situation.

My friend has been dating this guy for about 6 months. Yesterday she told me that her boyfriends father is notorious for shooting his animals. IE- his dog chewed up his work bookts once, that pissed him off, so he shot and killed the dog. He shoots pet cats when he's tired of owning them and he sits in his window with his gun, shooting birds and squirrels when the enter his yard. My friend wont report him because she doesnt want to lose her boyfriend... But I dont care about her boyfriend, or her boyfriends father, and I want to report it.

is it considered animal abuse? and can they even do anything, if they have no proof?

Does anyone know how sick is normal? He is moving around very slowly and is VERY sensitive on his shoulder where he got the shot. When should I take him back into the vet?

I've posted my question the other day "Problems bonding the 3rd rabbit". Thanks for the answers!! There is no problem with the lop male bunny, he seems get along well with any bun, but the female bun (not lop breed) always chased and mount any new bun i've brough home, and posture as if she is mating with the lop male bun from the back. I was so angry and tried to give to juz a soft slap, who knows whe bit my palm, bleeding!! I've had her since Nov last year, and she seems a bit wild, and make lots of noise by scratching and kicking, especially when we r sleeping. Should i give her away?

I have two RES turtles. They're always hungry. I'm not sure their age and therefore not sure how much I should be feeding them. Right now they eat mealworms in the morning and reptile premium sticks for dinner. One of the RES has a huge thing of skin above each of his back legs. The other one does not have this extra skin. Does this mean that he's overweight? Or that he's shell is not done growing?

Any help with be good. Thanks.

Do you feel some breeds are more intelligent than others?

Do dogs in general understand human emotions?

I've been cycling my water once ever three days and the high ammonia levels keep returning. All of my fish have died out and I was thinkinh about addind real plants to the aquarium to neutrilze the ammonium. I also noticed that brown spots have been appearing on the fake decorations in my aquarium, I think that chemicals from it might also cause some poisining. I have a gold fish aqarium and want to have only gold fish, not tropical, so I've been buying cheap feeder fish to see whether more expensive fish like koi can survive in my tank. Does anyone have any suggestions? Btw i've used an anti-ammonia neutiling solution, but I was thinking about using an alkaline solution, would that also be good?
