I got a betta two days ago. the first day I put him in a vase. The next day i found out that the vase was less than one gallon and that I needed to feed him, not just put a pellet in and let it sit. the water was gross from the pellet, so i changed his water. today I got him a 2.5 gallon tank. I put the filter it came with in, but it was visibly moving the water and he kept getting stuck behind it (and I think it made him stuggle to swim). The water is conditioned, but I haven't tested the levels yet. there are three small plants in the bottom, but the walls are COVERED in bubbles (is this normal?) Whenever I put the water in the tank it did this, and where I have scraped off the bubbles they are gone, but everywhere else they're still there. Now he's floating (not upside down, head up) but he won't move unless I disturb him. I think he might be sick or really stressed. His eyes don't look quite as clear and his fins aren't quite as full. Any suggestions or comments?

So I have 5 breaded dragons and its about to be six. We do breed them but their cages are pretty much basic. We use the crushed walnut from Zilla as the substrate and have all the appropriate lights of course. And they all have large rocks and what not in their cage. We wanted to add to their cages because they absolutely love it when they go outside in their outdoor habitat. So if anyone could let me know what plants you use or know are okay to use with a breaded dragon. I have a ton of books but I just wanted to see if anyone uses plants in their tanks. Thanks a million.

When I go near my Betta's tank, he flares at me. Not just with his fins, but he also puffs up behind his gills which looks really scary. Does this mean he doesn't like me? I'd love him to be tame and let me hand feed him, even pat him as I've heard some Betta's do.

My Weimaraner eats Canidae dry dog food, except once a day he gets a half a can of Canidae canned dog food. That little bit of canned dog food has always been one of the highlights of his day; as soon as he sees the can, he is literally slobbering all over the floor. He chows it down really fast.

Today when he ran over to his bowl, he stopped and sniffed it and jumped back. I looked really closely to see if there were maggots or ants or something, then I sniffed the food. Smelled fine, looked fine. I can't even get his mouth pried open to stick some in there, which is probably the best. I can't figure it out.

I thought maybe something was wrong with his mouth, so I got a doggie treat and he gobbled that right down. Then I put another treat on top of that canned stuff in his bowl, and he very carefully plucked it off with his teeth and ate it, but won't touch the dogfood.

What do you suppose could be wrong?

Should i get a bigger tank? Only half of the tank has water on it and the other a waterfall with rocks. Also... should i make the water level higher? Thanks for answering!!

I've seen ads for "Meerkat Manor" and they are just adorable creatures!! Does anyone know if these animals can be domesticated? I know my dad had a raccoon as a pet when he was young and am just wondering if these are animals that can become housepets too? They just look like they'd make the cutest pet!
