I have 6 black skirts tetrs. One has abnormally long fins, why? About the telling their gender, I read that the femail will have white spots on her anal fin, which one is the anal fin?! And I read that the female's anal fin will most likely be perpendicular to their stripes and the males will be more wide, what the heck does that mean?! they're all perpendicular to eachother! And how do I get them to mate?

I honestly dont see the point in having a dog if you aren't going to let it be just as much in your life as a kid would be. They deserve love just as much as we do, i dont think they deserve to be out in the cold or out when it is really hot, I mean its ok to keep them out there sometimes because i know they do like it, and they like to run.... but i think dogs should be a part of the family..What do you think?

I have three kittens, each around 3-4 months old. They live in our yard which is inside the house. We have a small garden where i let them go to do their things and play. But lately they have develops new ideas to go outside our garden, very far to other peoples gardens, there are cars and children who once stole one of the kitten. How do i get them under control. How can i discipline them not to go outside the yard?

Shouldn't we all? There would be no show on Animal Planet showing the horrible things "people" do to poor helpless animals!

I know.. sounds stupid.. but I'm new to a puppy! We brought home our shih-tzu whom we were told was a girl.. I even double checked her paperwork.. we're supposed to have a girl... yet, she has a boy-like thing on her belly! Do puppies have an umbilical cord stump left after 10 weeks - that's the only thing I can think of!? There were only two puppies, one white -male and one tri-color -female.. so, I don't see how the paperwork would say a tri-color female unless they totally screwed up. And please, I am asking for some help here.. don't tell me to watch her/him pee... even I know that some male puppies squat to pee! And.. her bum is dark colored and very 'hairy' so please don't judge me for not checking there... I honestly can't see anything either way! Thanks

Is there a deference between a Aponogeton plant than a Dwarf Hybrid Lilly?

And I have another question.

I put puppy in a separate tank while I was cleaning the main tank but I noticed that my guppy had a hump on his stomach that was not there before and his color was dull I was very worried about him but when I put him back in the main tank the next day he was fine his color was back and the hump was gone what was the matter with him? He sure gave my a scare since he is my favorite guppy

I'm trying to figure out if it is my dog or cat peeing on the floor. I put my dog away and went to clean up the urine. When I was done my cat come over and started pawing at it.
Would a cat do this for urine that it not its own?

We live out in the semi country on 3.5 acres. We put our cat out every night. He is 8.5 yrs old and is fixed. He is usually at the front door in the AM. Then one day he was no where to be found. No fur lying around on the ground, no strange smells, no buzzards flying around.

I know what reverse osmosis is, the benefits, and how you can achieve reverse osmosis water. I plan on using it in my fish tank but I am not completely sure how to get it. I am thinking that the machines in grocery stores where you can refill a gallon container for about 33 cents (at my local store anyways) is reverse osmosis but if it isn't how else can I get it for my 24 gallon tank?

We just got him and I really don't want to smack him because he is just a baby yet. He urinates and has his BM's outside, but sometimes he still urinates inside on the floor. He is about the equivalent of a one year old child and I just think that is too young to smack him for doing bad. (I would rather not hit him at all really!) Any other suggestions would be good though.

I have a 20 gallon tank that has been stable and up and running for months now, and the tank includes:
1 Dwarf Gourami
3 Black skirt tetras
3 zebra danios
3 leopard danios and
1Albino rainbow shark

I have done a lot of research on this and ive found that the most common compatible tankmates are danios and dwarf gouramis so i figured i would try it. I havent yet and wanted some adivice on the subject. I hope he can, but if he can't, are there any other fish that i can keep in it? *other than platies, mollies,and catfish?*Thanks a lot

The very minute I let her outside to go potty, she starts barking and barks non stop until I let her back in. What is this little dog thinking? She barks until it about makes me crazy on and on and on. Makes me feel like paddling her butt with a newspaper. She just will not shut up and when I let her out at 5 am before I go to work, I am sure the neigbors do not appreciate her barking. What to do?
