I am a new fish owner and didn't realize she was pregnant, just thought she was fat! After doing some research I realized she was in fact pregnant. I moved her into a large crystal bowl this morning using water out of the 100 gallon tank. She had her babies shortly afterwards. I'm going to buy a smaller tank this evening. How do I treat the water in the new tank to allow her and the babies to go in right away? I would appreciate any feedback, thanks! =)

Would one of my cats miss another one if they died or ran away?

He consumed about 4 oz. of lanolin, (commonly used for nursing human's sore nipples.) It says non toxic, (babies get a little when they nurse) but he ate much more than one would use for medical purposes. Any ideas??

So I've read that all cats have hair, but not all types of hair are fur. I would love to get a cat, but my boyfriend is allergic to the fur. Any ideas for types of cats that have hair?

I have a 50lb pit/shepherd mix who is 1.5 years old. she loves to run and has lots of energy. At home, she is happy to run in the yard and a 4ft fence and supervision is enough to keep her out of trouble.

But, we bring her to my dad's house so she can run on his 17 acres. I never leave her outside alone but she runs circles around me so I don't have full control over her. On the edge of the property is a road with a 55 mph limit. Cars don't come by too often, but I don't want to take a chance. The problem is, a fence is impractical because we would need thousands of feet of it, and she can easily clear 4ft. Even though the fence works at home, it is a much smaller yard than my Dad's. Would an underground radio/electric fence work for us? She is smart and I am willing to train her, but we only visit some weekends so I don't know if it will work. Are these fences strong enough for pits? Which brand is best? (petsafe or humane contain?)

thanks for help on my 1st Q ever!

I tried my best to take macro shots.. and if you can't tell the yellow sac-like thing near my pleco's mouth also has a black dot in each sac.

I'm not sure if this is where plecos store the eggs or if this is some kind of mouth rot. Any help would be appreciated and how to remedy it.


Tank stats:

- 20gal tank
- 1 sm. goldfish, 1 feeder fish, 3 sm. plecos
- airline bubbles and AC70 filter

Is it safe to order goldfish of the internet?
Will they get to me alive?
Is it stressful for them?
Are they better quality then pet store goldfish? How much does it cost to ship them?

Hi all, I have a 55 gallon freshwater tank: with 1 jurupari (3-4'') and a green spotted puffer (1-2 inches). I would like to add a German blue ram mating pair and possibly a black ghost knife and a kribensis pair. Any thoughts on this? I have a ton of filtration (two Whispher 60 hang on back filters working together).

Ok, I have had a beta fish for about 2 months now. A friend's beta
had babies, and he sent a note home for us to know. The babies were born over Thanksgiving, and I am pretty sure mine is full-grown. I am having trouble finding it's gender. I recently checked out 2 books on fish. They only showed one picture of a female and it was just a fry. The rest of the pictures were males and I looked at my fish and the ones in the book, and they are so much bigger finned then mine. I don't know if it is a male or a female, and if it's a girl, I can add it with my other tank. What I want to do is print a life size cut out of a female betta fish. I will cut it out and tape it to a pop sickel stick. I will move it up and down to see my fishes reaction. I read that if a male sees a female, it will start to biuld a bubble nest and flair up it's finns. So , I will se what it does to try and find the sex of it. so do any of u have life size pics of a female beta? post the link if u do!thanks !

My Labrador Retriever has yet to retrieve a Labrador. He will retrieve sticks and tennis balls and occassionally one of my shoes, but no Labradors. Have any of you experienced the same problem and how did you train your dog to bring back Labradors?

Salutations, I have a 300 gallon fish tank with a plethera of Goldfish, some of which have grown to be the size of my hand. The goldfish are very healthy and have alot of fishmeat on them. I bet I could get some mean fillets from a few of them, other than lemon and garlic, what other ingredients would bring out the exquisite taste of these tropical fish. And are they better deep fried or baked, goldfish lovers, please share your previous experiences with me, thanks, and bon appetite

I am about to foster a dog from our local Boxer rescue. I have a Boxer now, and really want to help these wonderful dogs. Has anyone ever fostered before? This will be my first time, and I am curious of how it goes, what to consider, etc.

Thanks!

I have to give you more details. Seemed like a very sweet cat, I brought it home and as I was cooking dinner, it rubbed against my leg, purring, wanted to be petted. So I scratched him on his head and out of nowhere, the cat grabbed my arm with all four paws, sunk his claws in and bit my hand so hard that I bled everywhere and needed stitches. It was very painful. Don't worry, I'm fine now and did all the necessary antibiotics and disease testing. I returned the cat and explained the situation. I don't know what they did with the cat, I'm fine with not knowing.

But does anyone know WHY a cat would do such a strange thing? I'm just so glad it didn't bite my children. I'm cat shy now and can barely pet a strange cat.. I'm scared it will freak out on me like that one did. Ideas?
