So, it looks like my tank has ich. So, should I go get some ich medicine or should I get some aquarium salt? Which is gonna work better? 30 gal tank w/ neons, platys (one is pregnant), rummy nose, guppies, corys, and pictus. Also, my pictus is looking rough. His long whiskers are messed up - one is broken and the other is long but the end looks stringy and floppy - not stiff like the rest of the whisker. What's that about? Thanks in advance for the info. Oh, and how long does it take to clear ich with either the meds or the salt?

Well it is a good idea to get a dog from a shelter and i am all for it but when someone says don't get a dog from a petstore(which i don't agree with them selling them but ..) because they are sick and come from puppy mills..ummm how do you know where the shelter dogs have been? from a home that got them from a store and then gave him up and now he is a great healthy dog because he is in a shelter, Do you get what i am saying? No matter were a dog comes from its a dog. Who cares if they have some kind of problems..because every dog need love..and i am sick of hearing stupid people saying and typing stupid things.

Anybody ever use the oral care gel from Petzlife? Supposedly it gets rid of tartar and such, but I've used it for about 2 weeks daily with NO affects whatsoever.. in fact, seems to be getting a bit worse! I brush her teeth a few times a week, although I have only done it once since using the Petzlife. Also, are there any ways to have someone clean a dog's teeth without anesthesia? I live in the LA area.. My dog is ok with sticking stuff in her mouth.. someone needs to hold her head, but she doesn't bite or anything. I've scraped her teeth myself, and had someone else do it also, and she was ok with it. Anyway, anyone know another product that will help get rid of dog tartar? Or a good regimen for tartar removal? Or ANY help at all??!! Lol, thanks in advance. Oh, and no, she doesn't eat dry food, and will not. She eats homemade food, and chews on some cow hooves a couple times a week. That's it in the chewing dept. I also sometimes wipe her teeth after a meal w/a wet towel.

Some of my fish have been dieing recently, so I used an indicator to test a sample of the water and it was more basic. I can't remember if the water is supposed to be completely neutral, slighlty acidic, or slightly basic. can someone please help me here?

I have an eclipse hood for my 30 gallon fish tank and cannot get it to work.

I got the tank and hood used, and when I turn the filter on it sounds fine (as though it's working) but, although I've tried several times to prime it, I cannot get any water to come out of it.

The tank is only filled 3/4 of the way full, and I don't know if that has something to do with it.

I was told by the horticulturist that a peace lily is not a true lily, so I am assuming it does not pose the liver failure damage that true lilies do to cats. Does anyone have any information about peace plants and cats? If my cat ingests it will the only risk be mild gastric distress?

I woke up from a nap today and saw that my 1 and a half year old Cocker Spaniel was limping on his left upper paw. now I dont know what he did, but he is having a lot of trouble moving around. I tryed to feel for a break and to see if he would cry when i touched. I couldnt tell nor did he cry. I am having him lay down and keep off it , also it doesnt seem bigger then his other paws. he doesnt seem to want to walk in it at all. now he is licking his paw alot...i am not sure if he just spranged it or really broke it...i did call my vet and that was no help......money is tight so if i can avoid going to the vet just for them to tell me they cant do anything that would be great.

if it is spranged what can I do to help it and what can i do to make him feel better?.....ice? ibpro? help!!

thanks alot

My friend and I found a baby robin. We didn't touch it but got it in an old guinea pig cage. We just need it to stay in the cage outside for tonight because Nature's Nursry is closed for the day. We'll call in the morning. I need to know what I can substitute for worms and bugs that the robin can eat. It's bigger than a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball. It can't fly.

I have 1.5 gal aquarium with a small goldfish and a very small snail. I know goldfish requires a big tank and grows accordingly, but I can only have a small aquarium at this poin. I was wondering if I could add one more fish so that the goldfish does not get lonely (snail is not much fun). What would you recommend or which fish?
Thanks in advance,
Buka
