I have a 30 gallon tank that has three platys and four male guppies. Can I put some female bettas in the tank? If so, how many?

Also, it's a tall tank. Does that matter to the bettas? Will they swim to the bottom? How deep is too deep for bettas?

I have a nice 35 gallon tank. A tiger barb, small, two mollies, small, an angel fish, small again and a tiny yellow long fish, not sure what kind. I bought a good size 4 inch algae eater, great condition and very healthy and much bigger then all the rest. It is GONE. I have read that maybe a cat got it, which I have cats. But my tank is always closed and even if the cat did jump up and would keep the cover closed with pressure from the cat being on it. I looked around the tank and behind it, it is nowhere. I did not clean the tank since I bought it, so it did not get sucked up with the vacuum. My other fish are too small to attack it. It's not in the filter...so I am dazed and confused. Is it under the gravel? The tank is in a high visible area so we WOULD notice fish parts around if it died or if the other fish decided to risk it and attack it. But they all got ALONG...I just don't understand...can anyone offer any help besides what I already know...??? Help please..Diane

I have two Convicts and one is about 5 inches long, the other about 8 inches. I just purchased a small pleco that's about 3.5 inches long. Do you think the Cons will eat the pleco? If so, what size pleco should I get?

I currently have a domino damsel and a yellow tailed damsel. I got a fake clown fish and a snail. I wanted to add another fish but I don't know what is easy to keep because I'm still learning. I have a 55 gallon that is doing well for over a month now.

My dog recently ate about 6-8 chocolate chip muffins. I have to add though that these were mini muffins. Will my dog be harmed in any way?

I notice my koi had some injuries near the mouth and on the body. Naturally I thought its another fish (of diff breed) attacking it. Its the only one of a diff breed fish that I mix with 5 of my koi. So I gave that fish away. A week later, i notice the mouth injuries is gettign worst along with bleeding fins. Please advise. What causes this?? I have light squarish plastic ornaments in the pond too. Though its not sharp edged at all, do you think it causes the injuries? What shd I do? Any medicine. Pls help. It pains me to see him like this. Tentatively I put him in another plc, away from the other koi till he has healed.

i would like to hear from people who have experenced with these breeds and soem fors and againsts on all of the breeds.

i also really like golden retriever x yellow labradors since they

1. are healthier than pure breeds
2. have a mutts charm
3. tend to be very cute

but however, there don't tend to be any breeders in hemel hempstead (where i live) in fact, there don't tend to be ANY breeders!

also, another question. if you wanted to breed puggles, labradoodles, or any hybrid dog, would you?

1. Get two pure breed dogs (example, to make labradoodles the pure breeds would be a poodle and labrador) to make labradoodle puppies

2. or would you get two labradoodles?

3. or any?

Anyone have any experience with this device?
We have a Rottweiler that barks non-stop at a donkey that is in a pasture next to him. It's past the point of annoying...It's become an obsession and it's ridiculous.
We provide him with plenty of exercise, toys and chews galore as well as having another Rott as a companion.
There is no reason, other than obsessive barking that this dog is doing this...
Do these collars work or would I be wasting my $$?
