I keep putting this down in my answers and I know there are other names for it. I would just like to hear others knowledge of it and maybe put it out there because its a huge training method that will save your life.

Do you teach your horses how to do it and what are your methods for preforming one?

Thanks!

Can these both live together ok? Do they have the same kind of environment?
Anyone know about sexing and breeding either of these? Do most pet stores carry both of these, if so how much are they generally?

Ok, I have a tank with 5 fish in it- a regular gold fish, a popeyed gold fish, a bottomfeeder and 2 silver/white Mollie.
It's a 25-gallon tank, and the water is the correct temperature(81 degrees Fareinheit),
But, just today, the popeye goldfish got this odd, white, filmy stuff covering his tail, and got weird bumps. The two Mollies got these weird, orangey-yellow cyst-like things near their gills and eyes. The Bottom Feeder and Goldfish are normal, and both the Mollies seem ok other than the weird cysts, but the Popeye Fish is dying, or so he seems.
Any idea of what this could be? Is it contagious? Can we save our fish? Please help!

So i have had a marble molly and a mickey mouse platy living happily together in a 10 gallon for 8 weeks and today decided to add in a silver lyretail molly to add some color variation. the second i put him in, the marble molly started ramming and charging at the lyretail. I have put the marble by himself in a bredding tank for the moment. What happened to mollies being peaceful?

I am looking to buy a pet turtle. Sadly, I have many requirements and can't find a proper choice. It needs to be kept indoors, and in a pretty small terrarium, cause I don't have that much available space. I know that alone sounds too picky, but it also needs to
be good with kids ( social ). I REALLY want a turtle, but am unsuccessful in finding one so far. Please help!!!!

Yesterday he was throwing up. I took him to the vet and they took his temp and it was normal. She said to try to feed him some yoguart to settle his stomach. Normally he would have ate the yoguart but he didn't. And this morning he didn't even want to go out to go potty. He has been drinking some water but he doesn't want to eat. I tried to give him some chicken broth and he wouldn't drink it. He has been laying around all day and not acting like himself. And his breath stinks, normally it doesn't.
I am really concerned. He is my baby and I hate to see him this way when he is usually very active.
What could be wrong? His nose is dry. Is that normal?
I am just going to watch him for a couple of days unless it gets worse. What do you think?

I have a 37 gallon saltwater reef tank. It's been up for a little Liover a year now it alwasy seems to be low. the RO water I use has a 7.0 ph and I either add the instant ocean which will bring the ph to 8.3 or if I'm just topping off, I will buffer with the "reef builder" which I know can raise alk. Corals and fish look GREAT!!!!!

~BUT~
I have noticed that my corals are NOT multiplying. like my zoas are popping new polyps like other peoples tanks,


tank stats:
water volume: 32gallons
LIVE rock: 65 lbs
live sand 45lbs
Temps 77-80
salinity 1.024/1.025
ammonia 0
nitrate 0
nitrite 10
ph 7.5
phosphates 0
calcium 440
mag: 1330
alk 9

Running one 175 watt 14k halide, 4 22watt t5's, a coralife superskimmer 125 and ALOT of powerhead flow! I am pushing about 1000gph and that is turning my entire tank volume over 35x an hour. Just recently added all that flow.

Any ideas?

We have a 30 gallon tank with two adult cichlids in it, and today we discovered that there were about 30 babies swimming around! Since we didn't know if they would eat them or not, we put them into a fry holder (it's a plastic container that floats in the tank with vents in the side to let fresh water through). Then we did some research and learned that we most likely have convict cichlids (based on the photos) and that they are excellent parents. Since it's been about 5 hours since the babies have been separated from the parents, is it okay for us to add the babies back to the tank? Or should we keep them separate from now on?

We've had these fish for easily 5 or 6 years and have never experienced this before!

I have a planted fish tank (15 gallons) and it seems that the hood that came with it isnt powerful enough for the plants. (15watts) So I wanted to add some extra lamps that I have lying around my house but these arent specially made for fish tanks.

My tank is 24" wide and I cant find hoods that can house 2 or more flourescent lamps.

Thanks!

It was absolutely gorgeous! Blue eyes. I looked on the web and a meerkat is mongoose family but this was a cat, a house cat. And it did have the traits of the mongoose where it stood up straight on its hind legs. It had beautiful markings. Anyone else have one or seen one? I'd like to know more about them. When I look up meerkat it only comes up with the mongoose family animal.
