Fifteen years ago, I got an adorable Lhasa cockerpoodle mix puppy from my cousins husbands friend for free, today these kind of dogs costs hundreds of dollars. I know puppies are really cute but personally I think people ask too way much money for these dogs does anyone else agree?

I currently have a 20 gal tank running with an undergravel filter and a powerhead for improved suction and circulation. The residents of my tank include 1 Rainbow Shark, 1 Opaline Gourami, 8 Harlequin Rasboras, 4 Hengel's Rasboras and 3 Otocinclus. Do you think it is too crowded? If yes what do you suggest I do? Please note that the Rainbow Shark is my baby and I could never part with him. Thanks.

We have some beta fish leftover from decorating at a wedding reception. They were swimming in bowls of calla lillies, very pretty.

So now the wedding is over, what to do with them? I don't have a fish tank.

I bought a pair of ghost shrimp for my betta's 2.5 gallon tank to help clean it. I put them in, but Monet, my betta, seems to be picking on them. He keeps puffing up at them and darting around in a circle as though trying to coral them.

I am worried about his being to stressed having them around. Should I take them out, or just wait and see if he calms down and gets used to them?

I want a book that tells about cat anatomy and health with diseases and disorders in depth, also cat psychiatry in depth, most importantly basic cat care in depth like how to take care of a cat and tricks to play with them and please them.

So far I know of the cornell book of cats, and the new encyclopedia of the cat , but I want better.

Any book suggestions please. Not a weak book like the idiot's guide to cats, or the everything cat book.

My male betta made a huge bubble nest, so i finally put her in there, she swam underneath, n she swam under him, but she ended up on the other side of the tank at the bottom. Then when she started swimming, the male started chasing her and bitting on her, her fins is a little messed up. So should i just leave them alone??? or should i take her out until he acts right??

My fish seems a bit bigger and this other fish always follows. Sometimes the pregnant looking fish follows the other. They both sometimes rest under the leaves together and almost never come out.
And They are in a pond outside, what should i do?

I previously asked a question about how much a fish bowl would cost, and a few people said it's not safe for fish and they can't survive in one? Why is that? I am getting 2-3 Betta fish and I was thinking about getting a bowl...

I know how to sculpt clay, make molds, and cast resin. I'm looking for an easier, less expensive, process.

Two possibilities come to mind:

Is there some material, like a modified concrete, that can be sculpted like clay, dried, and put to use immediately in an aquarium?

Is there a safe way to lacquer baked/painted clay sculptures, for use in an aquarium?

I'd experiment with different materials myself, but such an experiment may kill my fish.

Hi,
Me and my stepmom have been regulary getting in a debate about a fish tank. It is a 29 gallon tank given to us after her dad she didn't have a close relationship but I did passed away. At first she was protective of it and had to choose all the fish she wanted, even though I new the tank was overcrowded; she just wouldn't listen. Then after all the fish died, she had been calling the tank mine and I remodeled it with a natural riverbank layout and it now houses 3 fantail goldfish who have a 55 gallon filter. I have used my allowance/birthday/baby sitting money to buy the gravel, fish, plants, found the rocks and glued them together for caves, medicine, filter cartidges, and basically everything else the tank needed except for the light and filter we got close to a year ago. I am the one who cleans the tank, gives medication, feeds, etc. Anyways, lately we ahve been argueing over putting stuff on top of the tank. She runs a daycare and puts daycare socks, wipes, baby bottles, and o

We have 5 goldfish, all different species. One of our fish was all gold when we bought him but he now has black edges to his fins and tail. Is he just maturing and developing this colour or is it an infection or disease?

I have a 10 gallon tank with 1 black skirt tetra, 5 neon tetras, and 1 ghost shrimp. They are getting along great! Are there any tips for taking care of them and are there any other things I can add to the tank without disrupting?

Its always swishing and twitching at me, but its such a tease, it always runs away whenever I try to catch it...I tried sneaking up on it, and even bought it drinks...But while it constantly entices me, I'm beginning to think it is only interested in mind games, help!
