I've been reading how you need to feed your fish this if they are floating...my beta is floating in the tank but he's still moving around. He's also kind of fat...and he's only fed once or twice a day.

Sometimes when i'm rubbing my dogs belly he will like my hand and arms, sometimes my leg once or twice. is this is way of saying thank you, or i care for you? or does he just like the taste of saltly skin?

My dad called the vet and told him what's wrong with him and they said he's dehydrated.
So we give him water and everything, but he pukes up his food or whatever he eats or drinks, just not all of it.
Right now he's barely moving, but he would roll over onto his side and he's just okay, he just won't stand up.
He just won't stand up or walk or anything like he's in pain or something.
And making weird noises like he's growling or something, like he's moaning.
Do you think it's his stomach?
Or could it be something else?

I really don't want my dog to die :(.

I have a 7 mo. old Golden Retriever. My husband wanted a big dog. Well he got one....she's nearly 70 lbs already. I wanted a small dog (shi tzu, pomeranian, yorkie). Well, I'm still yearning for a small dog. One to sit on my lap and cuddle with. A dog I can take for walks without having my arm pulled out of its socket, etc. My Golden is quite hyper (she's getting fixed in a couple of weeks which might help). She'd never hurt the new puppy on purpose, she's just big and clumsy and very playful. Plus I'd probably baby the puppy and carry it a lot..... Is getting this new puppy a bad idea? I know there are a lot of people out there that own both a large and small dog......

I have an empty 80g I'm thinking of converting to salt water. I know what I need in terms of sand, rocks, and lighting (I have a 4x65watt PC light for it), but I wouldn't know where to start for filtration. I dont want to drill it... someone once suggested a canister filter+powerhead+protein skimmer, but wanted to get advice from more than 1 hobbyist before I get anything going.

Please only answer if you are an expereinced keeper.

I want to get some guppies, I have a 50 gallon tank but it is not heated, and that tank is full, so I bought I a 10 gallon tank, do you think that I could buy guppies? and have them survive? (It is not heated but has really good filteration, and the temperature is room tempered.)

If you've ever had pets that often require specific needs, such as fish in a fish tank, amphibians or reptiles die, have you ever felt like it was your fault that they died? I'm not suggesting to anyone that it's their fault they had a pet die, but I am curious if anyone's ever blamed themselves for the death of their small caged pets.

When I have a fish or other pet die, I often think to myself, "I could have cleaned the water more often," or "I could have fed it a little more," or something to justify why it might have died so suddenly or unexpectedly. I usually think about what that poor fish or other pet was feeling while they weren't getting the care they required.

Does anyone else think like this?

Our male neutered cat has been peeing where he shouldn't for a while now and he won't quit! We clean it up each time,he likes to go in the corner on our rug by the door so i smells disgusting now and it's just annoying!

We've taken our cat to the vet many times and he's had tests and tons of things done and he's been on meds for it before but he keeps doing it! Sometimes he stops for a while but starts up again.

--We have no other pets besides our dog who he's always gotten along with. He's an indoor cat.


How do we get him to stop and how do we get rid of the smell??NO RUDE ANSWERS

I asked this question eariler and wasn't specific enough i think... i got several people e-yelling at me. So, I have a small 30 pound lovely beagle spaniel mix. We adopted ehr under two eyars ago and we love her very much. Her health has declined on several loccasions since we got her. At this point she has arthritus and is on meds for it but still has stiff sore back legs. In addition she is a follo dog. She tries to follow us around and heard us all into one room. Despite her attempts to convince her to lie down she insistis on standing while we eat dinner, and walking around when we are not all sitting down in on e of the rooms with ehr blankets. So. My problem. bcuz (i think) of her stiff back legs, she sometimes ends up lying down when she turns quickly. She does not sturggle or try to get up again and seh seems comfortable enough. So, is it alright to leave her there is fhe seems comfortable and is in the position seh normally lies down in on her blanket?

ok... i currently have two fish tanks. I have a 10 gallon, and a 55 gallon. In the ten i have several feeder guppies and a young red eared slider. He is growing fast so i hope to be buying him a 20 gallon soon.

In my 55 gallon I have eight small goldfish. Five fancy goldfish (the biggest reaching 3 in. and the smallest 1 1/2 in.), and three comet goldfish (2 1/2 to 3 inches). I know that comet goldfish can grow to enormous sized so i plan on either giving them back to the pet store, giving them to the nearest pond owner, or (least likely) feeding them to my turtle.

I am getting a new tank from a friend of my dads. It is 40 gallons, and has a freshwater puffer (not sure what kind), and two chiclids. He has owned the tank and fish for 6 years.

Is it a good idea to move fancy goldfish into the 40 gallon and the chiclids into the 55?

Will 5 fancy goldfish fit in the 40 & will 40 to 55 make much of a difference for the chiclids?

I have a female sunconure and she keeps shredding up the newspaper at the bottom of her cage and building a nest out her scraps. She hasn't laid any eggs yet and I don't want her to! The newspaper is changed everyday and she just tears it up again and builds a nest. I don't think anything will discourage her. I really don't want to breed her either. How can i possibly stop her from nessting?????????????!!!!!!!!!
