I bought a gold fish yesterday. Seems completely healthy (although a little shy at first!) but I noticed he has like stringy faeces hanging out from time to time. Could he have dietry problems? Is there anything I'm advised to feed him to help?
Tank was established and all water tests have shown all is as it should be.

What states in the USA is it LEGAL to own hybrid cats such as savannahs, maus, safaris? Not exotic but hybrids(cross between wild and domestic)

****PLEASE! Serious answers only!

I am starting combined training with my mare (lower level shows) and I would like to plaite her mane. I know it is not necessary but I think it gives a better look. My question is does it matter which side of the mane the braids are on? Most of the braiding i have seen is all on the right...that would seem awkward since her mane falls on the left. Does it mattter?

Our cat urines all over the place, normally in the same few spots.
We want to kind of lock her up in the laundry room in the basement. It is a good size room.
The floor is cement though and we want to make it at least comfortable for the Cat. What kind of amenities should we provide.
This is an older cat about 12 yrs.
Is there anything we can do to stop her urinating problem?
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!

OK so it's summer right, I see dogs walking with these horrible full muzzle style leads around their mouths, I can sort of see why people (lazy in my opinion) use them for training purposes and I feel the strap around the base of the mouth is alright. But dogs need to pant to keep their temp down, how could you be OK with walking your beloved pet around in 90+ degree weather restricting their natural method to cool themselves?

In every tank I've ever owned, I have always put at least one gold fish with a school of neons and I've never had any problems. However, I was just chided by Wal-mart's fish person for having them together in one tank. Is this really wrong and why? Please explain in detail. Also, will gold fish eat ghost shrimp? I've never had ghost shrimp and I just bought some thinking they would be safe from the gold fish. I've never had a gold fish that ate another fish in it's tank.

I think people who put their dogs in the back of trucks are the scum of the earth and don't deserve to have a pet. Yesterday I saw it twice, one was speeding down the freeway and it looked like the dog was about to jump. Why can't you put it in the front with you?

I have a 5 gallon tank and I am really worried about algea growth. I have to take a cloth and scrub every day just to keep it under control! I have heared of algea removel products but never used them and I'm wondering about how they work and how do I use them? The Algea I am getting is either in large patches or teeny pinpricks. It makes the take ugly and I just can't seem to get it off my gravel even with a gravel cleaner. I am also purchasing a live plant will that cause even worse algea growth? The tank is in semi sunlight and I use a lightbulb in thehood of the tank for heating so it is on 24/7.

I need some remedies to keep the snakes out of my pond that I had built, they are eating my fish. I heard put a rope around the edge because snakes dont like to crawl over it with their bellies, I heard trying mothballs, putting diesel fuel around the edge, but I dont want to try that because when it rains it will flow into the pond. I need help, these are cottonmouth snakes. I live in Branson Mo
