I set up a 2.5 gallon tank 4-5 days ago with dechlorinated tap water & put in some fish food to start the cycle. Yesterday I picked out my betta. I took him home, rinsed the gravel, & put it in with a small decoration & 2 small potted plants (one is a broadleaf anubias, the other didn't have a label). I floated his cup for about 10 minutes then put him in. He seems happy but no bubbles; he stays at the surface of the water (no gasping though). I fed him a few dried bloodworms this morning which he gobbled up. The water is still a little cloudy from cycling.

1. Is the setup OK? Why does he stay at the top? There's no filter or heater but the temp is 74 and I plan to do partial water changes.
3. If I get a tiny snail will my fish eat it in this small tank? Will the snail eat my plants?
4. Can I leave the plants potted?
5. Is it bad to only feed bloodworms?
6. Did I wait long enough before putting him in?
7. I'm nervous that when I change the water he will try to jump out.

i have her in a seperate container so that the babies once born go to the bottom and she can't eat them. but they don't look like babies, they just look like little orange-ish balls. are they not fertilized? :( or is this just like the first stage?

We just set up a 55 gallon tank that has fish and plants. The fish had fin rot, which is cleared up now. But the pH level will not go down. We have tried "Correct pH" and "Start Right" made from Jungle. The plants are turning yellow (even after putting plant food in the tank) and decaying. Any suggestions to what we need to do next?

I Just acquired 2 daschund puppies and they had fleas. At least I think they're fleas (pretty fast -like sugar ants- but do not jump). I went to the strore and everything said for puppies 12 weeks or older.

He sometimes steals these out of my bedroom and runs around with them until he unrolls them.

my 3 year old siamese cat has recently found an interest in water. when im in the shower, he gets on the ledge of the tub and puts his paws in the stream. when i get out of the shower, he licks my legs.i have come home to the kitchen sink being left on, and as it turns out, he is pushing up on the facet!
he has plenty of water to drink, although i catch him drinking from the toilet a lot.
btw, i had him vet checked with bloodwork and all, and he is healthy.

okay, so i have had rats before, but it was 2 years ago, and i can't really remember much about how to take care of them.
i just got 2 so-ugly-they're-adorable hairless rats last night!!!! their names are jack and oreo. i had one of my old rat cages left, so i'm using that, also i bought food, a wooden house for them to hide and play in, a food dish, a water bottle, some special pet "stuffing" for them to shred and sleep in, a chew toy, and this special litter that feels kinda like fabric but it's supposed to be non-toxic and help with the smell and stuff.
i also bought johnson's baby lotion for them, because the guy at the pet store said that they need lotion put on them every once in awhile, coz they have sensitive skin and it gets dry and flaky. so how often should i put the lotion on them?
oh, and does it sound like i have all i need to take care of them? how often should i feed them? i fed them last night, and this morning when i woke up, their food dish was empty.

My RESs hatched 3 eggs about a month ago.
I made a incubation bucket filled with sand and covered the eggs slightly.
I'm not sure if I should check if the eggs are fertile or not.. Because I'm scared I'll crush the embryo.
When is the time about when they hatch?
The eggs have been untouched for the last month.
Thanks ;)

My Molly just had about 100 babies. She started 3 days ago and had a few a day until today when she had over 80 (yes we counted as we scooped them out int the other side of the divided tank). Should we leave her in her side of the divided tan (she has about 2 gallons of the 10 gallon tank)? Should we put her in a 5 gallon bucket for a while, or return her to the 55 gallon tank? And how long should we wait to move her or keep her there? By the way, we now have over 150 baby Mollies from 2 fish. Are these amounts normal? Thanks
