My dad thinks this is to much, but he has wanted a macaw for his entire life. This is such a good deal he just doesn't realize it.

Do you think he can find one cheaper for the bird and the cage, or is this a 1nce in a life time deal

We have 3 goldfish and on the food container, it says to feed the fish a penny-sized pinch of food several times a day. We do that, but they always seem to look so hungry and start swimming near the edge of the tank whenever they see someone pass by. I would like to know if the fish could be overfed or if it is safe to feed them very often throughout the day??

I just got a molly from Petsmart 2 days ago. I acclimated the fish and everything that I was supposed to. I tried feeding it 3 hours later, and it didn't want to eat. Then today, tried again, and nothing. All my other fishes are happy and eating (guppies and neon tetras).

except the tail is more clear rather than blue

and another female guppy that i dont have a picture for, but it is mostly clear with a really light yellow color. does anyone know what breed they are? What color fry would i get if they bred with a red delta male guppy (hence my other question)?

My buddy Bill bought a dog a few weeks ago that was abused, and it ran away. We found out it was shot and killed. I helped him find that dog because I thought it would do him some good because he's been going through alot of family problems and dogs are said to help poeple cope with things. I thought I was helping him but it just made things worse , and now he thinks getting a dog would be a bad idea. Do you think he should try a dog agian? You think it would help him feel less depressed? I really think he should try agian but get a healthy dog with a better past, what do you think?

I was told that some reptiles carry samanilla poison. (Not sure of the spelling)

Is Bearded Dragons one of them that carries this?

What are some great sites that is easy to read and understand on the price, care, needs & anything that I need to know about Bearded Dragons?

I am really thinking of getting one or two. Can one be happy by themself in a cage with lots of love and attention from human or do they need a mate?

ill start of that i have two tanks a 55 gallon and a 15 gallon. in the 55 theres a clown loach, very fat rainbow shark, an 11 inch beautiful polypterus named nessie, well a small pleco and a small cori catfish. anyways long story short i found out nessie would like ghost shrimp when i bought her and storred them in the 15 gallon with the small guppies that came with them. it turned out i was given endler livebearers which are semi-rare fish 2 females and a male, male passed away today. also if you were thinking about the tankmates in the 55 gallon, yes i had an amazing oscar who passed due to two territorial catfish that i nolonger own. the question is that along with the two impregnated guppies are two mollies a male and female, i want to know if my mollies can go in the 55 gallon tank unharmed but nessie. the story was pretty interesting right? thanks to whoever took the time to read all this.

I have placed a $500 deposit on a toy breed mixed puppy and the breeder told me from the beginning that because she is so small (only about 2lb when fully grown) that she needs to stay with the mother until 15-16weeks old.....I feel I have missed out on all her puppy weeks and now I am suppost to pick her up in 3 weeks but I am not sure if she is worth the balance of $3000 for a dog that is 16 weeks old. Am I being crazy.....besides paying $3,500 for a dog, does it matter that she is 3 1/2 months old when I get her?

I have grown several batches of sprouts and all had mold. I used a method were I put seeds on a wet paper towel and I put another wet paper towel on top. I heard exposure to sun could make seeds loose nutritional value so I put the sprouts in a dark area.What attracts mold and is there a way to prevent it?

ook so I've read a lot about ICH on here.
I definately know my tank has ICH in it and have an idea on how to treat it. I made the mistake of overcrowding my 10 gallon tank but only 1 fish is showing signs. I had 2 mollies in the tank for about 3 weeks and added 9 tetras (oops) So I took a couple of the tetras out of the tank in hopes of relieving some stress. BUT I stuck them into my new 55 gallon tank with nothing in it yet. Now I'm worried that I've infested the 55 tank with ICH, Is it possible to transfer ich from one tank to another?

PS. the tetras werent even in the 10 gallon for less than 24 hours.

Our neighbor, a licensed Police Officer, neglects his dog. He ties the dog up, without water or food in the hot sun and leaves. The dog gets tangled up and today he looked close to death. We called the Police in the past about this, not much result. He does not care. Today our local Police Officer came out, after we called, provided the dog with water and moved the dog into the shade. We would have loved to help the poor dog, but could not, we would have been persecuted for trespassing. He could not write a ticket , since the city has no ordinance against animal neglect or abuse.
Some people should be prohibited from having animals. Where is Peta or the SPCA? In rural areas, no one seem to care at all.

I really don't want to buy anything online or at a specialty shop. The grocery store or a Petco/Petsmart is what I am interested in. My dog is 12 and a bit overweight. I'm confused because some say to get her senior dog food because it has less protein which is easier on her kidneys yet others have said this tastes like cardboard and dogs are not satisified. I don't want my dog to feel hungry or refuse to eat. Thanks.

I really want a german shepherd, but I don't want one that is as big as usual! So, can you help me find a teacup one? It really has to be small. And I would really like it if it didn't shed either.

Oh, and it has to be free or cheap, because I don't have much money. If you know where I can get two of them, that might be better, a boy and a girl!
