I have a big tank with 10+ fish. I have mostly goldfish in there and 3 Koi fish.

About 3 days ago, their usual foods ran out, so we had to feed them a different brand (pellet).

I haven't washed my fishtank in months now and I see the the build up of something green looking, like dunk and other craps.

I then notice this morning that one of my fishtank lighting had fell into the tank (damn cat). It was plugged into the wall, but I don't think it was turned on but I think that might not be the cause.

I then started to notice one of my biggest koi fish (1 feet in lenght) started floating upside-down and couldn't swim well.

It was if he was trying to get out of the water but was weak. I immediately changed the water and put the sick-looking koi in a separate tank (a HDPE Plastic Bottle and it's big too so it held him with little room to move).

He now stopped floating upside-down, but still look weary and doesn't move much.

$5-10 reward for the solution! I don't want him to die!

I have a litter of outdoor kittens that are all healthy except the runt which has the gooey, crusty eyes. Will boric acid take care of this problem or do I need to take it to the vet to get eye drops or something? Also I was thinking about bringing it in my house and nursing it back to health because it is also very underweight but will this infect my house cats?

He is massaging his paws on pillows and large stuffed animals and kneading them like how people knead dough for bread. Is this natural in cats?

My husband and I have wanted a pug puppy for so long, and while we don't have one yet, we are getting close to a time when we can get one. I am building a case for litter training the puppy, and would like to know if my reasons are sufficient for trying this.

1.We work full time and won't be able to take weeks off to train the puppy. I think leaving him in a crate for at least four hours until I can get back home to let him out is cruel. Babies can't hold their bladders that long, how can I expect a puppy to?

2.Pugs are very sensitive to temperature and humidity, so he must be an inside dog and we can't kennel him. There will also be times when the weather is just too hot or cold for us to take him outside.

3.No matter what's going on, he can go without us having to stop and attend to him, and he won't have an accident because we're too slow.

4.Litter training via crate training has all the benefits of crate training as well.

Are these good reasons to consider litter?

I went away for 2 days and when I came back I noticed that my beta fish's tail is shorter and less 'flowy' than it was before. It doesn't look like anything is wrong with him because he is as perky and colorful than ever, but I'm concerned why his tail seems shorter. Has anyone been in this situation or have any suggestions on what has happened or if there is anything I should do?

I have a friend who told me that white vinegar helps to get the smell out but have tried that several times and it hasn't worked, it just makes it smell worse. If anyone knows of something else to help get the stink out I'm open to suggestions, other than getting rid of the cats that's not happening.

I'm straight and I own two cats, Homer and Nameless.
I think they are very cool, and I am never mean to them, or to any animals.
Most guys seem to think only gay guys like cats, and a lot of guys I know like to talk about all the cruel things they do or have done to cats and kittens.
It always sickens me.

Am I a weirdo or something?

Is the boxer the strongest dog? Because, my friend has a male, and she said that hes 95 pounds all muscle. And she said that there the strongest dog breed, and also the second smartest, next to the German shepherd. My B-F has an English mastiff and a bull mastiff, and they both look Allot bigger then the boxer. If the boxer isn't the strongest then what is? If there not the smartest then what is?
