I just bought a 10 gallon freshwater tank about 2 weeks ago. My question is....how many fish should I start off with and how long should I wait before I add more? thanks!

Which is worse...
A) Dogs at the shelter being put to sleep humanely ??

B) People who adopt these dogs and either can't or won't provide proper vet care, and allow them to suffer?

Joke question, unless I am mistaken, it's to prevent us from eating it!

It's time to change the water in my betta's tank. He has a really nice bubble nest going. It's gonna ruin it when I change the water. Does destroying his bubble nest cause him any stress or will it be ok? I will change the water anyway, I was just wondering if it messes with the fish to have his bubble nest destroyed.

We recently got a female kitten- she's around 2 months old. She insists on "nursing" from our male 2 year old cat. The strange thing is that the male seems to like it, even bathing her like a mother cat would do. Has anyone else seen this or have any advice?

Our cat is fourteen years old. She is a darling little cat. We love her very much! We just brought home a 3 yrs. old Norwegian Elkhound from a breeder in June. At first the cat and dog ignored each other. Then they declared war!!!! The cat was fine. Minding her own buisness when, WHAM! The dog jumped on the cat! The cat ran as fast as she could away from him but, he caught her. I grabed him and put him in his crate. He has gone after her countless times since and she (the cat) can't defind herself!! I'm afraid he's gonna kill her! PLEASE HELP SAVE MY KITTY AND MY DOG!!!

Ok, I just got some Serpae, Bleeding Fin, and Neon Tetras, a total of 5, with these school together or do I need to get more of each?

I also got a Peppered Corydora, and a Sunburst Molly and a Red Molly

Should I quarantine these? I got them from PetsMart/Wal-Mart.

How should I go about adjusting all the fish to the new 78 degrees water. (I haven't gotten the heater yet)

I already have a Betta in the 10 gallon, is this too much fish?? Thanks alot...Any tips welcome!!!

After begging, begging, begging, begging, and more begging, my mom is finally going to let me get a dog!
I have narrowed it down to either a Weimaraner, a Lab, a Great Dane, or a Boxer. Which one do you like the best? And feel free to include name suggestions!

I don't know if they can, considering that they're actually attatched to the dog's skin

My aquarium will revolve around Discus fish so keep that in mind if you want to help. I'm trying to keep fish that are showy since it will be in my dining area.

These are the fish I'm considering:
8-10 Discus (8 inches)
10 Corydoras
4-6 German blue rams (maybe because I have to shown caution with the other fish)
4-6 Praecox Rainbow
3-4 Blue Gouramis (maybe because I have to show caution with discus)
10-15 Neon Tetras

I've read that I should keep about 1 discus for every 10 gallons. Since I have 150 gallons to work with, I figure I can keep about 8-10 with still plenty of room.

For filters, I'll have either two penguin wheel 350's (filters up to 75 gallons which will be 150) or two emperor 400's (filters up to 80 gallons which will be 160).

For aeration, if I still need need something because I'll already have two power filters, I'll use bubble walls/wands.

For heating I'll use two 250 watt heaters. Any specific brands you recommend?

Extras will be put into details.

I was playing with my normally very friendly golden retriever in the park yesterday.He loves his ball and a little girl was throwing it for him, he did seem a bit possesive of it.Anyway, she was just stroking him gently, he had the ball in his mouth and he suddenly bit her.It was really horrible, luckily her mother wasnt angry.He didnt draw blood but i cant let this happen again.I have decided to ban him playing with his ball, keep him away from children and possibly get him castrated.Can anyone shed any light on this?I am so shocked by this, I have two children of my own so know how the mother must have felt.
So disappointed in my dog, who is normally so friendly.

Ok, I put my turtles outside in the water so that they can get sunlight. Can birds really take your turtle to eat it? Mine is about 1 or 2 inches long. Please help!!
