I have had a female swordfish in my 2.5 gallon tank for about 2 months. It has always been really twitchy, everytime i come near the tank, it darts around like it's really scared, I have never had a good close up look of it without scaring it.

The other night, I noticed that it had settled to the bottom corner of the tank (nothing unusual) but was still about .5cm above the bottom. I took closer look and the fish did not dart around the tank like it usually does. I even tapped at the tank and shook it a little bit to see if the fish would react. By this time it had completely settled on the bottom of the tank. The only thing i noticed was that it's tail seemed to be curved to the right, it seemed theat the fish was tense or something.

I thought it was going to die, but after a few minutes it started to swim around, then it reacted to my presence by darting around the tank again.

can anyone tell me whats wrong with my fish? I noticed similar behaviour yesterday afternoon...

i don't own the cats, otherwise i woulda found a way to silence them myself. so here's what's going on: outside my window, down in the street, there are 2 or more cats that are either FIGHTING or F*CKING in the middle of the night, while i'm trying to SLEEP!
how the hell do i shut them up & keep them quiet?
or at the least get them out of my neighborhood?

My 6 month old dog is let out to potty multiple times a day, first of all. Secondly, he is NOT given food and water while in his crate and thirdly, I DO know how to properly care for a dog - he's not my first! He's given praise when he potties outside and is led outside as soon as he is let out of his crate which he is in for 4 hrs at a time. The problem occurs when he's come back inside from pottying and back in the house and playing with our other dog or roaming around when he's marking up the carpet. Please do not misunderstand that he's not important or that I don't know how to care for him. This is VERY upsetting. I've had him for a month now and he is now about 7 mos. old. He was 6 mos. when I got him.

I was reading news stories online and came across one about a cat. Apparently, two girls set an 8 week old kitten on fire, and while the cat was squealing in pain the girls were laughing. HOW can anyone be so disturbed!?!?! Thankfully, the kitty survived but the tips of his ears and his tail had to be amputated.

If you want to read more about it, here is a link to the story, but beware because it has a pic of the kitty on it

If you ask me, I think it's only fair that those girls be set on fire for their punishment

I thought my frog was a leopard frog when it was in its tadpole state, but now I think it actually might be a toad. Please try to identify.

Since my wife and I brought home two kittens our adult cat hisses every time the kittens are near. The problem is it has been about 6 weeks and my adult cat has hissed so much that she seems to have some sort of throat issue where she can't meow! Her normal meows come out squeaky or not at all. She still hisses but it is weaker. Does excessive hissing cause damage to a cats throat? Should we take her to our veterinarian?

well just recently got a new puppy, about three days ago. The first night we brought her home she ate like a pig and ran all over the yard chasing a little girl, since then she has gotten really sick. We took her to the vet today and they said she has parvo and round worms. The thing that makes me so mad is the lady we bought her from said she had been wormed and had her shot. Now she is so sick she might die. The vet said to give her gatorade ever hour and if she makes it through the first 24 hours her chances for survival are higher, but she is just laying there not moving with her eyes closed. I just don't know what else to do, any ides would be helpful. thanks. She is sucha sweet little girl and I dont want to lose her.

I would love to see him destroyed for what he did, it makes it so much harder for real pit bull owners to fight BSL and this retard needs to go to prison for what he did. There is no if he did it? He fuc$ing did it, there is so much evidence against him. My personal thoughts I think he needs to go through what this a $ $ hole put those poor dogs through. I dont want to hear that all pitbulls are mean and BS like that,if you have never been around a pitbull or owned one you will never truly know how good of dogs they can be.ANY dog can be made mean. Here are some stats.
EVERY YEAR IN USA

440,000 people die from cigarattes

40,000 people die in car accidents

38,000 children die from gunshots

2,000 children are killed by their own parents

3 people year die from pit bulls

The 3 pits that have killed are ones whom where involved in dog fighting rings.

We are adopting a cat from the local animal shelter. He/She will be strictly indoors. If you were putting together a complete shopping list for new cat supplies what would you include? What could your cat not live without and what was a complete waste of money? Please include brands and website links if you have them.
Thanks - I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!!
