tape is tacky. Tried wetting it a little and applying it but now there is water bubbles between the glass and the poster. I'm figuring that tomorrow I'll just buy a squigee and that''ll take care of it. Was just wondering if anyone had any right now solutions. Thanks.

Hi, in my neighborhood there is a nursery. The nursery water runs off into a bunch of ditches all over my neighborhood ( near the dirt trails). these creeks are about either 30 feet long, 4 feet wide, or 25 feet long, 35 feet wide, or 20 feet wide 20 feet long. All these creeks have big rocks in them. They all vary. When I was younger my older friends would go down and bring back a couple crawfish and alot of tadpoles. I was always curious about the craw fishes. They said they would always be swimming around. The big creek is now covered in tall grass, but there is still water in it. When I went down with my friends, all i found were crawfish shells around the edges of the creek and on the dirt trails. All the creeks are next to each other. sorry for the long question.

my betta fry hatched just today but a lot of them sank to the bottom of the tank. they're still moving though but barely...the daddy betta doesn't seem to notice (or just chose not to? LOL!) that there are fry at the bottom...will they die?

I just (yesterday) adopted a loving 10 yr old moggy. Upon getting her home she investigated the house, then hid under the bed for a few hours (a safe spot?). She then came out and has been overly affectionate since, to the point where she didn't sleep all night and kept me up by jumping on and off the bed, walking up to my head and constant rubbing and headbutting.
It's only been one night I know I just wanted to know if this is normal in people's experience and will she calm down, start to sleep at night etc.?

ok im gonna get a betta (siamese fighting fish) hopefully much like the one shown here.
http://www.bettatalk.com/images/Royal_blue_super_delta_tail_web.gif

I dont know what kind it is but i think it might be a super delta. i have a plastic tank that is 1-1.5 gallons. i need to know:
1) how much $ a good quality betta like the one in the pic would be?
2) how much $ some NICE gravel to fill the bottom of the tank would be?
3) what kind of food to get and how much it would cost 4 one container?
4) can i put plants and deco in the tank? if so, how much can i put without crowding?
5) more general info about the tank and the fish?
i will prolly get the fish at a good place where my dad gets all his fish but i will get assesories and other stuff at petsmart or petco. plz dont tell me that the tank needs a filter cuz my dad had a tank with a filter and the fish got stuck to it and almost killed!!!!! then he took the filter out and had the fish 4 a long time after that!

Ive been wanting a lionfish for a while now but only bigger cities around here have pet stores that carry marine fish. Before I go through all the trouble and gas to actually get one I need to know if theyre actually as hard to take care of as people say. Does anyone actually have one or know someone who does? Are they high maintenance?

I have been looking up of starlings lately, and finding out that they can make exceptionally good and loving pets. I allready have a cockatiel that gets pretty agressive towards mirrors and other pictures of other cockatiels, but does fine looking at the house sparrows nesting outside. Will she or he (we have not really found out its gender)acept another bird living in the same house interacting with each other? And will i be going too much out of my way for another bird of a different species?

I have a 10 gallon filtered tank with 4 platies and 2 mollies. all of the fish swim together except for one of the platies. he hides all the time and only comes out from various hiding places when its time to eat. I noticed he has two bites out of his tail (at least i think they are bites) and the other fish seem aggressive when he comes out to eat. what is wrong? they all got along fine when I first put them in a week ago.
Also, my one white mollie has a white dot on his tail...is something wrong? please help! =) thankyou

My fish died today and I have had her for years. My friend and aunt who is a marine bioligist say that fish live longer and happier lives in ponds. My parents said that we can build a small pond in my backyard as long as it is simple and not extremly expensive. Any tips or advice on pond building or care?

We found a snake-like creature in the surf off the beach of the Gulf of Mexico in Port Aransas, Tx; seahorse type head is straight, not curved and clear with a brown line down the center; body resembles a snake by movement or an eel w/out any fins; tannish, clear color; very thin; looks like a baby; tiny scales but not like a snake! We were shaking the sargassum seaweed catching the tiny sargassum shrimp, fish and crabs and a couple of these fell out!

My friend has a fairly large one...about 6 inches. The eel will only eat live food. Right now he's in a 20 gallon but he wants to upgrade to a 55, possibly with discus...Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Our new guppies were born this weekend while we were away. We removed the adults (because it was easier than catching the fry) for the night. We put the 4 adult guppies in with 3 danios in our unheated 5 gallon tank. The fry are in the heated 10 gallon. We really dont want to buy any more tanks, but are trying to figuire out what is best with the tanks we have. We also turned off the filter in the 10 gallon tank for the fry. Any Suggestions on where to put them, and how to use the filter we have? We would just like to raise the fry and keep a few...giving the rest away...

I'm not sure if I even want to breed him but my brother has a female that he brings over every once & while. They play well together & now I'm thinking of getting a female, so I'm thinking that it would a good idea to get him papered if possible, so that if puppies where to come about they'd be able to be AKC'd.

Crap. Is there any easy way to tell the difference between a male and female tiger barb? I know that the male may develop red coloration to it's nose, which one of them definitely has. The other doesn't. I'm worried that the one with no red on it's face is a female. I don't want any fry in my tank.

Also, I have a tank with 3 red glass barbs and 2 tiger barbs. So far, I haven't noticed any fin nipping. Is it very likely that the two barbs will start to fight and nip? They are pretty teeny now, so I'm hoping it won't happen.

Advice?
