I am totally confused with the cycling concept. In order for cycling to work - you need to have a fish in the tank so that ammonia will occur and therefore bacteria colonies will form.

Is this what cycling all about?

If it takes months and months for cycling to be completed - then that poor fish would undergo "stress" due to the rising of ammonia level and pH fluctuation.

There was this thing sliding on the inside of the aquarium on the glass it was oval shaped and had kind of a scissor tail. It was pretty small like no bigger than the flat side of a pencil eraser. Is it bad? And does anyone know what it is?

I need to know if a solid black boxer dog could exist. I know that reverse brindle is considered the closest thing to a black boxer, but I have proof that a solid purebred black boxer is in fact a real thing. (My mother has been breeding boxers for many years, and she told me that black was not a color gene in the boxer line, and that if a boxer came out that color, it was mixed, but then the last time she bred which was about two years ago, her female gave birth to a solid black boxer who did not have stripes of any kind. she was purebred and black.) Has anyone else heard of this?

In my fish tank I have a Female Mickey Mouse Platy and three male guppies (along with other small fish). I did have another Mickey Mouse platy up until about 6 weeks ago who passed away. I do not know if that platy was male or female. Unfortunately months ago when I first bought all my fish the guy at the pet store wasn't too great at telling male from female (and I only found out recently) My female platy has been big in the belly for about 3 weeks now but does not have a gravid spot. Today I came home to find my three male guppies chasing her around and they seem to be nibbling on her front gills.

Could she be pregnant? Why are the guppies attacking?

My favorite dog Sadie lived to be 14. She was mixed breed doberman/shepherd. She was smart, loyal and completely trained in obedience and personal protection. What an amazing dog. When you looked into her eyes it was as if you could see her soul. I first met her when I started dating my husband. It was love at first sight for Sadie and I At that time she was just a year old. She still loved my hubby but from that day on we were joined at the hip
She passed away at 14 quietly one morning an hour after I left for work. She apppeared to be hanging on and suffering badly. The Vet had told us to make her confortable which we did. The night before she passed I spoon fed her water and food. I held her head in my lap...looked her in the eyes and told her it was okay to go....we would be okay.
She waited until I left for work the next morning to pass. My father-in-law came out to sit with her and she took her last breath.

My puppy is doing really well, almost can sit on command, but sometimes he gets so hyper and nippy, whats the best thing to do in that circumstance? ignore/get mad/crate? I really dont know, i dont want to reward, but I dont want him to think of his crate as a punishment place. I heard that sometimes they get like that when they are tired and overstimulated. Advice?

My friend wants to teach his big gray male cat how to go on walks with him, but it just wigs out as soon as they leave the apartment. Is there a way to teach a cat to just have a coke and a smile and enjoy walking around on a leash with his family?

I realize there are the exact same questions on here, but none of them helped me. I have 3 Bala sharks with a mixed community of Gouramis, Danios, 1 male betta(who is getting along fine with the community) and some placostomus all in a 50 gallon tank. 2 of the bala sharks, which are younger and smaller than the older, larger bala, are getting blood red streaks on their dorsal fin. I am positive they are bala sharks and not the other breed. The filters were dirty the other day, but I have cleaned and replaced the filters and the water is clearing up now, but the red isnt going away. I know this could be Hemorragic septisemia or something, but I have no idea how to treat it. And I can't go to the vet for a subscription medicine. Could anyone suggest something? Are the bala's going to be ok? They are acting just fine, and eating right. The danios are also getting a slight red tint on their bottom fins as well (They are Giant danios if that helps) Please, help me

I own a 55 gallon and a 10 gallon aquarium. In my 10 gallon aquarium i have a 5 inch pleco. Is this pleco to large for this 10 gallon aquarium? I am aware they can get to 1 1/2 feet in a large aquarium. My pleco has stopped growing and he is stable in size, so i think he should be fine in the 10 gallon. Also, I would like to add more fish to my 10 gallon aquarium. I think I want to add live bearing fish, but i am not sure which type to add. I have been told by friends that guppys reproduce like crazy, so i dont think i want to add guppys. I am leaning towards platys or swordtails, are these good choices for me? I dont want the live bearers to reproduce and quickly crowd my 10 gallon aquarium. How many live bearers can i add? I know i should have more females than males, and i know the basic 1inch of fish to 1 gallon of tank, but i have heard this rule is invalid and i dont think it would apply to my aquarium. WHEW...long question. Thank u for any answers!!!!!!!

i was wondering (without people being stupid) how long an oscar fish can live in a 20 gallon tank by itself. do oscars really need a huge tank all to themselfs. i dont think any fish that is small enough needs a huge enourmous tank. its only about 2 inches at the pet store.

Do you take time out to give your pet attention or just brush it aside with annoyance? And do you feel guilty afterwards for ignoring your pet?
