Hi all, I have a 10 gallon fish tank, and I want to start a new combo involving a Betta, tetras, and at least 3 small algae eaters. Is there anything that would fit this description?

I have a 20 gallon tank and a week or 2 ago the water got really cloudy even though i had been doing somewhat regular water changes and i have an under gravel filter. I bought some new fish and all of a sudden everything but all the the plants i just bought died. The water is still cloudy even though i have been doing water changes for the last few days and there are no fish. All the levels of everything is normal except for the pH which is very basic. My 2 questions are how do i clear up the water and how do i keep my water pH neutral and stable even though the water here is basic?

I saw this tropical fish at a store. It is white with colors in the center. Some were blue, some were green, some were yellow, and some were pink. I did not happen to catch the name of this kind of fish. If anyone knows this kind of fish and knows of a web site where i can find out more information about them please let me know. thanks...

My cousin has a 2.5 gallon tank with two adult size goldfish in it. She used to have a betta, that's how she got the tank, but the betta died so she got two adult goldfish. I think they are lionheads. I told her the tank is too small but she just won't listen until she has proof. Can anyone back me up here?? That would be very much appreciated!! She is actually next to me right now.

Since she came out of brumation in Spring, she's been rubbing her nose on the metal screen of her tank lid. which is bad. I thought maybe she just wanted to go breed, but isn't breeding season over by now? Why hasn't she settled down?

She does it around nightfall. If I open her tank, she instantly shoots out and tries to go somewhere, which is unlike her.

I got another snake just before she went into brumation -- do you think she smells the other snake and wants to eat him? The new snake is in a separate enclosure (of course) and is about 3 feet away from her. Am I gonna have to move the new guy? I moved him once but she kept acting in this strange way.

I recently gave my sister my leopard geckos, and she said my oldest one, shes about 5 yrs old eye is swelling a little bit and her tail is getting a little skinnier. She's not moving around a lot and she keeps licking her eye. Is this something to worry about, or will it go down???

Recently, I looked up a good family breeder for Shiba Inu puppy at 7 weeks. This is the first time having a puppy and i have researched the dog up and i know Shibas are strong willed, stubborn, intelligent and all that.

So if you buy the puppy from the breeder,
What is the Breeder suppose to give you? health certificate? A list of vaccinations takened? Also, are we suppose to sign a contract?

I have a male rabbits and a female rabbit that live outside and they're both housed in separate NIC condos. I was wondering can they die of heat stroke during the summer if their cages are in the shade? They have plenty of water and when its too hot, they run in their mini crates that I left in their condo so they have something to hide in. I left mini pillows and blankets in their crates so they have something to hide under, will they be fine?

Do they put rods in doberman ears? we got his ears cropped and the vet that taped they ares didnt clean them and one ear is ok, but the other hangs a little because when it got infected it was bleeding and he kept putting it back.... I dont want rods in them i am just wondering i heard a rumor of it...
I think it would be kind of cruel.. but anyways help if possible, i would like his ears to both stand, or none, but the other is straight up.

Yesterday my 1 year old carin terrier bit my little brother on the arm and he had to go to the hospital to get stitches. What had happened earlier was my little brother tried scaring my mom and hid behind the couch. He jumped up and made a noise and my dog, Bubba went after him barking, but he didnt bite him. Later on my little brother wanted to get on the couch and Bubba was laying down near it and he was acting all scared and kept his eyes on Bubba, then when he went to get on the couch, Bubba went after him and got him pretty good on the arm. My mom took him to the hospital and b/c it was a dog bite she had to fill out a police report and bubba has to stay in quarentin with us for 10 days before animal control will take him. My mom wont let me keep him, because my brother is so afraid of him. Hes only 8, but he ofcourse blows it way out of porpotion and wont even be around Bubba even when he has a muzzle on so Bub has to stay in his kennel all day. I dont want to put my dog down...

My puppy loves to go outside for walks as I do too. But how can I effectively clean her feet without having to give her a bath every time we go for walks?

I tried baby wipes but they still leave dirt and she has white fur, so it stains gray, plus I personally don't like the smell.

Washing her feet every time and having to dry just takes too long. Any advice? How do you clean your dog's feet?

I kinda think hes fat but I need to read my bearded dragon care guide first before I cut back on his food, but I just want to know what you guys think. He walks on his arms because they are huge. I dont know if he just cant support himself when he walks on his hands, because of his love of mealworms, or if its just a lot of muscle. Is there a way of telling if they are eating too much and are fat? Ok, not really "fat" but more like has eatin way too much over his lifetime of 8 months. I dont know what a fat lizard is explained as these days.

He has to take it once every 24 hours, and they are having me give him 21/2 mg each time. The paper I read on-line says to give 10 mg per kg once daily. I don't know if what kg means. It has something to do with weight, I do know he weighs 9 lbs or so. Can someone tell me if that would be correct to give (21/2 mg each 24 hours or not. I don't trust the vet that is filling in for my usual vet. Please help if you know what these measurements mean, relating to his weight. Thanks so much
