I heard that fancy goldfish are sterile and can't have babies. If that's true, then how do they reproduce?

okay...long story short...my 'rents are divorced.i live with my mom.we had two cats,male & female. they had two cats. then the momy snuck outside and had two more cats. now i really really dont want to take them to the human society...but i dont wanna put an add in the paper becuz i dont want people who could possibly be pet abbusers or whatnot to take my cats...so i've been trying to get people i know to take some of them. well my dad, that i do not live with, said he would take one of the about 12-weeks-old ones. now im not sure if i should be kinda worried but my dad smokes...constently...like you'll never see him without a cigarette. he needs to light one to get from the parking lot to the store...thats how bad it is... now i really dont know if him smoking around the little kitty all the time in a confined one bed room apartment(building) will affect the kitties health...does anyone know if cats lungs or any other parts of their bodies can be affect by alot of cigarrette smoke???

I have a 20 gallon tank. In it I have 1 frog, one pleco, 2 dalmation molly, 4 sunburst molly and 2 black molly fish. I know I have been overfeeding and am gradually cutting back to 1 pinch 2x's a day. The nitrite level is still registering barely in the safe area, the nitrate level is in danger zone. My fish don't seem to be stressed, but, after a 25% water change, the levels are still the same. What can I do? I put in an ammonia remover, but no effect. I change 20%-25% water once a week. Should I just let it alone and hope for my fish to survive? Also one dalmation is prego and is slowly birthing, which I am leaving in the tank. I know the fish will eat the babies, but hey, population control. have seen 2 babies so far, still living in the tank. She is still very very fat.

Anyway, what dogs do you know of that have puffy looking tails? (and otherwise short hair)

I use fresh step litter and also a box of baking soda every time I change the litter box. I scoop it out every day and add additional litter three times a week.

How often should I do a complete change of litter? The reason I ask is because there's hardly any odor after a month.

I haven't had my tank for too long... and it's pretty cloudy (white color) but every time I test it, everything is normal. So, I'm pretty sure I'm just waiting for it to cycle now...

Ok. My fish has been fighting for a long time, I recently helped her get through Dropsy (I know, amazing! Blown up like a balloon for weeks and then just...deflated one day!) and now she has what I assume looks like the white, stringy type fungus on two places of her body. One is on her stomach where most of her strching was, so it is somewhat transparent. It looks like a little white blob almost. It's on the inside of her skin, but it looks like it is coming out.

The other one looks like a puff trying to come out from under a few gills of hers on her back.

I think it's just that fungus that fish can get, and I have been giving her paraguard, and a few other things intermittently. I also have some maracyn2, should I try that?!

I don't know what to do, I just want my fish to get rid of what's ailing her once and for all.

I have a 2 inch largemouth bass in a 240 gallon. I could barly afford a large enough habitat for him, so I dont want to be shelling out $200 a year to be feeding him all feeders. I dont want to breed livebearers for food for him. Could I slowly ween him off feeders until he only eats maybe one a day, a worm a day, and the rest pellet food. Would this be ok? Could I even do it?

my family is looking for another dog, and we have been considering a boxer. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this breed, or has owned one. If you know of any other good dogs of the same size, please tell.

I cant decide to set up a native tank or go with the oscar. I'm leaning towards the bass because they are definetly smarter. I know one drawback is that bass have to eat only live food, which will get pricey over time.

I was asked to watch a friend's Great Dane while they went out of town. So, I went over to their house four times a day for a week. Well, during this time, the dog was in heat and I didn't know!!! This was about a month ago.The problem is, I took my Shih Tzu male with me, so the Great Dane would have a playmate! I think my Shih Tzu got his dog pregnant!

He insists that he didn't let his dog around any other dog. So now what do I do? Can my Shih Tzu get his Great Dane pregnant? What would you call the puppies?

Small and big =] just looking for names so I can research different breeds before I adopt (yes I know that shelter dogs don't always go by the norm but its worth the research) or go to a breeder.

Several of us at my stables have noticed that all the horses are choosing to stand in the sun no matter how hot it is. I thought it might be due to flys but even when fly repellent is on they still opt for the sun. Today is 105 and again, they are all in the sun.

Thank you!!!

I just purchased a Nano-like 12 gallon aquarium with built in wet/dry and good lighting. I am wondering if anyone can give me some step-by-step help in setting it up properly and/or any good web resources to check out.
