Does it mean the fish is overly excited that you are in the room or does it mean he/she's hungry.

I have been testing my tank water every other day now in my currently cycling aquarium. I am wondering if there is a way to get the PH and alkalinity to go down. As of yesterday the water parameters are:

nitrate 20-40
nitrite 10
hardness 25-75
alkalinity 180-300
ph 7.8-8.4

Once the tank is cycled I am planning on getting 2 dwarf frogs. Are the ph and alkalinity levels ok for them to live in? They have been staying pretty constant. I have been putting a lot of effort into this tank and really dont want these frogs to die a few days after I get them. If the levels arent good, how do I get them to go down. I have not been doing any water changes because it will slow down the cycling time. Once the tank is established will a water change bring the levels down?

Hi, everyone.

I got an e-mail from a local no-kill shelter today that had some very cool news inside! They have a Beagle that needs to be fostered!

The shelter doesn't know very much about the dog, but they'll be finding out more about him on Friday. What we do know is:

• He's named Flash.
• He's a neutered male.
• He's 7 years old.
• The shelter lady described him as "naughty" (not sure what this means, but we are guessing he is a door-dasher??).
• He is being surrendered because his current parent is pregnant, and is not sure if she can handle a dog right now.

So, can you tell me EVERYTHING you know about Beagles??

Thanks!!

I just returned from my 1 week vacation, and I left my aunt to feed my cycling zebra dans, and I specifically told her 2 only put a this much, but when I got home I realized that 1/4 of the fish food in the container was gone. It was in the aquarium hiding underneath rocks, and plants. The water was brown, and smelly. My aunt claims that the fish looked more hungery so she gave them more. I did a 100% water change, and decided 2 start my cycling again...arghh. Is this right?

I wish I could help him, but he's had accupuncture, and is on pain meds and muscle relaxers and he's still in pain. I can't stop crying.....life stinks.

I live in Kansas and we have sand fleas pretty bad in this state. My dog is medium sized (about 43 lbs) and it seems like I am getting bit by the fleas he brings in the house. Can anyone help me? I live on a fixed income, so I have to find a way that is cost effective. Please help.

I'd prefer the dog to be not small, more on the larger side and not skinny. I need this for a short story I'm writing.

I have a 10 gallon tank that was given to me as a gift with everything in it including the fish. Yes my tank is overstocked with 7 neon tetras, a baby pleco, 3 cory cats, and a baby red capped oranda. However I do not have the money to get a bigger tank so for now they are going to have to stay that way because I have no money and everyone is either young or naturally little so at the moment there is plenty of room. Before anyone has any remarks about the goldfish my tank is 75 degrees and I do 10% water changes every 2 days so the amonia level is minimal. I want to get an air pump for my tank because it is over stocked and I notice some occasional gasping so what am I going to need? I obviously under stand the pump but does it come with tubing? is there anything else I need besides the tubing and where can I pick one up thats cheap and good? Also Is there anything else I can do for my betta who is in a 1 gallon betta tank that is not heated or filtered but I do change 1 cup

Has anyone else named their dog 'PORKCHOP' and if so what kind of dog is he or she, and tell me a little bit about your dog. By the way mine loves to lick peanut butter off his nose after I put some on it for him to enjoy! I love him a lot!

He is 1 year old and people says its a MUST to crop a pit's ears, well is it? I mean c'mon he looks so cute/good with his ears on, plus I don't want that agressive bad boy look, they already have a bad rap so I guess its enough with that

I want to buy from a reliable breeder though. NOT imported or from some pet shop site. I dont want to risk buying an unhealthy snake from an unreliable source. Thanks!

I've been trying to find a seller/breeder in my area but not getting much luck.. south of Boston, MA.

My dog, Sugar didn't produce enough milk for her puppies. Just enough for a feeding or two, so I started bottle feeding them @ 2 weeks. I started feeding them puppy food @ 3 1/2 weeks. Do I need to mix it w/ water or formula? They seem to be eating & drinking fine. They do seem to sleep a bit. Wepla w/ them. I come into the kitchen and I'm covered w/ puppies.Which I don't mind. The come to me and sit @ my feet until I pick them up and love them. I feel like their mom. I think if they could reach out for me they would. Is this ok. Also since they are eating food do I need to worm them earlieror wait till they are 6 weeks old

My dogs mouth smells like her butt.. possible worse since her butt doesn't try to lick me on a regular basis.

I'm guessing its becuase we recently weaned her into a new food (all natural). I feel like the natural food is making a difference in her health, but I also think it might be the cause of some serious doggy halitosis. I don't really want to switch her food, but somethings got to be done!

So... whats the BEST doggy breath treats? Whats your dogs favorite? whats the one that doggy wants nothing to do with? Which ones work the best? (might need somethin strong cuz its pretty rotten)

Thanks for the help!
