my two young blood parrots and 3 young albino corydoras are getting along fine at the moment, but i was wondering......will they get along for the rest of their lives since they are growing up together? and what are some bottom feeders that will get along with the parrots if this situation wont work out forever?

please dont reccomend pictus cats(my petstore did)....as they will get big for my tank(even though i think they are neat!)

thanks to all who answer!

I know that i can't put a collar on a tortise, so i was wondering if there was any other way to put something similar on my tortise.

this is because we recently lost my tortise (he lives partially outside (and we just found him)), and want him to have something on him, so if he's found we can be contacted. thanks!

A few days ago i found a black and white kitten outside meowing its head off at night. So i caught him and decided to keep him, but i just noticed today that he had a strange bump on the right side of his head.

It started to worry me and i not sure if it somethinf i should be afraid of. I CANT take him to the vet because i would have enough to pay if he even had a tumor.

So im kindda screwed here TT __ TT

Got any ideas? please...?

I bought a new fish tank. The dimension are 30x12.5 inches. I wanted to buy a under gravel filter but none matches the same dimension. Should i buy a 48x13 inches or 30x12 inches. I was scared that the smaller one is too small and the bigger filter size will not fit my aquarium. Please help me!

I have a 10 gall. tank and 2 gold fish in there. I know that the temp. should be like 68-73 degrees but I just can't get it any lower than 76! I haven't put the light on in about 2 weeks and we have air-conditioning, I just can't figure it out!

I just bought a 1.7 gal tank along with a couple goldfish and after only 5 hours after I filled up the tank, the water went so dirty I can hardly see them fish through, I completely changed the water (yes I know it's wrong!) and reduced the amount of food I was feeding them with, but the same happened again.

Now I don't know what could be worse for them, to completely change the water or to leave them with that stinky dirty water.

I have a really sweet female golden retriever puppy who gets along great with everyone and everything. I have another dog, a full grown standard poodle female who is well trained and also gets along with everyone and everything. My older girl has lived with other dogs and is quite the alpha female (but not aggressive) and my golden knows that. The problem is, when I feed them, my golden will happily go about eating her food, then, even if my Standard is across the room, my golden will start growling and barking at the standard as if she feels threatened that the standard will take her food (I've started watching them while they eat and my standard does not take her food at least while I'm around). I'm eager to know the correct way to stop this before it becomes a big problem and leads to more aggression. I have started feeding them in seperate rooms but I don't know that that is solving the problem. Help?

We have a small dog for 5 years now. He loves us and the new baby but we haven't been able for years to bring in visitors because he wouldn't stop barking. At anyone. Most of the time I'm a stay at home mom.

Doggy has a huge yard, frequent trips to the dog park (where he behaves bad, too). We don't leave him alone at home after 1 messed up carpet and a scratched door. If we have to, he stays in his crate for a few hours.

So yesterday there were 2 kids playing outside and he just ran off and barked at them. Hubby had to get him back in the house again. We were so mad..
This morning he almost bit the maintenance guy even though our dog knows that person well.
What can we do? Every try to make him obedient failed so far. My husband just wants to get rid of our pet.

we were using cat litter for our rabbit's litter box but then we changed it to a litter that's made entirely of wood pieces, because it's safer and better for the environment. but she doesnt seem to want to use the box anymore, she mostly goes to the toilet outside it, on the floor. she's always done that but now it's worse. why does she do that? and how can i get her to use the tray and only the tray?
thanks in advance.
(btw i read that rabbits leave droppings outside the box to mark territory, but seeing as there are no other animals in the house i cant see why my rabbit does it)

ive lost my kitten. ive been searching all day for her and cant find her any where. I brought her home from a farm as she was in a very bad condition and cleaned her up. She stayed inside the house with me then moved downstairs to another room. i was suppose to take her to be vaccinated and microchipped today. i was cleaning her room today and put her out. moments later she ran into the shed which was open. after tidying up i tried getting her out but she ran straight past me and out in to the garden. i didnt even see which direction she went!! ive been speaking to the neighbours and have left food out on her own. just hope she comes back im so worried as shes still very young and has never been out. any advice on what i can do please????? thank u ! aminah
