I have a 20 long aquarium, freshwater, with guppies, and ghost shrimp. As of late, the rocks, gravel, and plants have a purple, fuzzy.....growth. What the heck is it? is it dangerous to the fish, and how would I be rid of it!? I was thinking 12 gauge, but i think I read somewhere that lead is poison to fish. Thoughts?

I have a small 1 gallon tank that has a basic air filter, but it's causing the top of the water to be covered with about a half inch of bubbles. What should I do to get rid of the bubbles. The fish food can't get to the fish unless I turn the filter off for a few minutes and let the bubbles go away.

One of my tetras got stuck in a cave entrance that is way to small for him. I had to push him out backwards and now he has some bruising by his dorsal and pectoral fins. he was wedged in there pretty good and i think i may have damaged a few of his scales getting him out.Is there anything i can do for him other than adding some Aquaclear(stress coat) and some salt to ward off bacterial infections?

I have 3 tiny goldfish. the tank I have is quite small, there is no filter so it gets quite dirty fairly often. How do I clean this?

I likely will get a tank that has a filter. what kind do I get?

First time I ever took care of fish before!

Thank you

We have a glass backdoor and I let the dogs out to play in the backyard. Bella, a german shepherd mix, has begun whining to go outside, and as soon as I let her out, she's bolting the door, jumping sometimes 6 feet in the air in an attempt to get back in. I'm scared she's going to break the door and herself in the process. A stern no doesn't work, and I've tried pulling out her blanket/toys in her kennel and putting her in there alone for 10-15 minutes, but it's not working.
She was a rescue dog who was beaten before I got her, so I will not hit her under ANY circumstances.
How can I fix this?

We just recently moved from a cold, dry state to a humid, hot state. I have been told that she has what is commonly called a hot spot. I have given her baths and put bag balm on the spot, she is not itching it any more however it has gotten a little more swollen. I have looked on the net to find information on hot spots and all I have found is saying to give them baths regularly (which I have done every two days) Any other suggestions would be wonderful?!

I'm having my 50 lb lab spayed tomorrow and the vet wants her brought in on a leash. But she's scared to death of her leash. She yanks, yikes, rolls, and eventually starts gagging or coughing and I take it off. I've tried just letting her keep it on and walk around with it by herself. She's fine with that until I pick up the other end. Then she's crazy again. I know I've waited a little late to ask for help, but I'd appreciate any tips you could give me.

I got a pair of guppies to add to my tank yeaterday. Last night as I was watching them I noticed that the female seems to have bubbles on her eyes. I am new to fish so I don't know what is normal and what isn't. I can't imagine bubbles on her eyes is normal though.

My cat Sam is a completely different cat now that she's had her first litter of kittens. (about 5 weeks ago) She hasnt gone to the bathroom the same since, but about a week ago she would purposely pee in her litter box and then step outside and poop. We just moved into a new apartment and it is wreaking havoc on out carpet. We thought maybe she just wanted more attention or something, we tried spending more time with her and petting her, she just seems completely pissed off and doesnt even want to be around us. Were at the point where we dont know what to do with her... She isnt a good companion anymore and if she's not happy here what are we supposed to do? I'm just so confused. If anyone has any answers that might pertain to the bathroom problems, PLEASE RESPOND! I need to know if it's medical or if she's doing it for other reasons.

When I got my tank it had a hang on filter. It started leaking so I got a new filter. My new filter is a Whisper filter. The old one had some sort of ceramic type "beads". They are around a half-inch in size and sit in the bottom of the filter tank. What are these and what are they for? Should I put them in the tank of my Whisper filter? Does a bubble wand actually add any oxygen to the tank or are they purely for show?

Me and my brother, who is 11 years old, have always wanted 2 hamsters. Next week we are moving into a big house with 162 acres for the back yard, which is a forest, but we will own it. In the far far back of the forest there is a huge treehouse that gets electricity. Our parents say no pets until the animals that we have now die. I am 13 years old. Would it be a bad idea to buy 2 hamsters and keep them in our tree house? We live in Manitoba. Would it be to cold out for them? Are there any facts I should know about hamsters?

My baby is a beagle/dachshund mix- short hair. We're outside a lot so he gets a little smelly- he doesn't LOOK dirty but I like it better when he smells good. Can this hurt his coat?

Also when I got him he had dandruff and since I started bathing him it has gone away- a sign that it's okay every other week?

My pet snake is being very territorial, earlier today he slithered over to my comic collection, and fell asleep on them, and now he is awake, he hisses at me and looks aggressive every time I go near the comics. What do I do?
