Do you think he might be purebred pug, or at least mostly pug? Or do you think he has something else in him? I think he looks alot like a Carlin Pinscher(Miniature Pinscher/Pug) but I don't know, what do you think?

ok my GF is a Frog nut, so i find my self with 5 frogs and a toad in a fish tank in my room. i have build a stand in the tank that is covered in moss and there is about 6 inches of water in the tank. the problem seems to be that the Toad is always on land therefor he seems to get most of the bugs that go in. the frogs seem to spend most of their time in the water so im not sure that they are getting enough to eat. anyone have any ideas on how to encourage them to spend some more time on land?

I'm looking for a name to register my puppy. and example would be a dog I had named Little Bit Of the Mountain and we called her Little Bit.

My local feed store sold me amoxi tabs, 250MG.
I am using them for my dog. However i read on the bottle (they bottled them like you would get from a vet) but it says in TINY print. 1 cap per 10gals of water. Aqaurium use. He gave them to me for my dog. Is that safe or is it the same thing?

I just got 3 silver dollar fish in a 30 gallon tank with 3 zebra danios. I think that one of the silver dollar might have ick. I have read that you can add salt to treat ick, except to scaleless fish. Do silver dollar fish tolerate salt?

Granite Grit, Oyster Shell, Calcium Carbonate, Dicalcium Phosphate, Salt, Charcoal, Mineral Oil, Orange Oil, Zinc Oxide, Manganous Oxide, Ferrous Carbonate, Copper Oxide, Calcium Iodate, and Cobalt Carbonate.

I work at a place that sells fish and was called over to check on a tank that a customer had told me was infected with ick. The tank looked clean so I told her it was alright. She said to look at the other side of a silver dollars in the tank, and I noticed a large .. parasite looking creature attached to the fish. I took the fish out and took it to my manager -- whom told me to kill the fish. Instead, I pried the creature off and put it in one container, and kept the fish in another in case it was infected with anything. I decided to do research to see what it was (I'm sure it came in with our shipment).. but came up with nothing.

It was about 1 inch, flat with a leaf shaped back, light green with one dark stripe going down the middle of his back and a few going the other way as well. It had legs and pinchers, and after it was detached swam upside-down most the time, with it's legs in the air. I didn't see a separate head, but it had something that resembled a tail. Ideas?

I grew interest in Betta fish and have a couple of questions.

Is it possible to make the Betta Fish's Fins grow and expand on Color?

Is a filter necessary for them?

Are they more Inactive or Active?

What stores can sell bright, big, and colorful fish?

Thanks :P

I already potty trained my rabbit Toby with the exception of pooping in the litter box. I taught him to go up and down the staris I made for him. I was just wondering if theres anything else I can teach him.

Hi,
I got a yellow lab puppy a few weeks ago. He was 8 weeks old and when he came home, i bought him puppy chow and maximum nutrition. He refused to eat these. I tried giving them as is, with water, with milk, with gruber's baby food (this worked really well for a day but then he just started licking the babyfood off and leaving his puppy chow).
So concerned that he wasnt eating, i read that it is always good to just feed them boiled chicken and boiled rice. i tried this and it worked like a charm. he usually eats less rice, but he loves his chicken.
Anyway, now hes getting big and eating a lot of chicken and it is unfortunately putting a whole in my pocket, plus ill be busy very soon and would not have time in the afternoon to cook for him.
I would like to get him into some sort of processed food. Ive read people suggest mixing a new food with his current food. But I think its not going o work as he leaves his rice sometimes as it. Suggestions?
Also, what food do you suggest? thx

I have a betta fish, and for the time being, I am keeping his tank under a lamp to keep the water warm until I am able to get a bigger tank for him with a heater. When I have the lamp on, the fins look great, but when I turned off the lamp the other day to move it, when he spread his fins out, they looked thinner and like they're losing their color.
Any suggestions/ guidance?
Is this normal?

Hi!

so here i have my 10 g one that im going to set up again after a time of not using it because having turtles in it is absolutely tiring, i plan on setting it up to have 2 or 3 goldfish, since they are cold water fish and hence that i dont think a heater is critical for them, but im no expert

i know that i have to wash in hot water the gravel, rocks and stuff that was as decoration (well im planning on buying more gravel), but im also planning that instead of using tap water i use normal drinking water

since using tapwater lead to the water gradually decreasing and leaving back a grayish stain
i just need some tips
(oh btw, i use one of those Aqua Tech 5-15 g. filter)

How do I remove those grayish stains off the acrylic?
(they seem to disappear with water, but they come back)
How do I remove some stains that appear in the filter cover thingy that i suspect are a kind of fungus?
R there any benefits in using normal drinking water instead of tap water?

thx every1!

if you have a 2 year old dog that hasn't been fixed and all he does is mark - both indoors and out - constantly, will neutering cure him of this?? i would like to adopt the dog but on the home visit - all he did was mark - my trees, my bushes, my patio, a dehumidifier IN the garage, etc. its alot to spend on a dog if there is no real guarantee it will not stop,

thanks in advance for your help

I have a beautiful family dog with nice light brown eyes, that wags its tail alot. He is a very happy playful family dog. I sometimes wonder, do certain pet animals such as dogs and cats see in color OR black and white?

My cat weighs 16 pounds. She is a small cat and the vet said that it is crucial that she lose weight. His advice was to just feed her only twice a day, am and pm. She eats a weight management dry food and I measure a bit under 1/4 of a cup each feeding. The vet said that an average house cat eats about a half a cup a day so I should feed her just a hair less.

How long until I see results with her?
