I was led to believe these fish got along with each other. I bought three and two of them picked the other one to death, now one of them is picking the other one constantly. What gives?

I just went to a garage sale and found a big tank.

It is 2 1/2' long, 1' high, and 1' deep.

I am not putting fish in it but was wondering because a lot of equipment is measured that way.

I don't know what I am going to use the tank for. Do you have any suggestions?

I know that meat is a great choice but what kind?? Hamburger, chicken, pork, lunch meat? Also is their anything else that is great for ferret treats. I live in the boon-docks and i dont have a pet store within 60 miles. So I would rather give him treats that are healthy from my local grocery store. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!!

I just got a white cat. It's 4 mos. old, and its previous owner named her Ally. But I want to change its name, to either Abby or Igloo. What do you think? And how should I spell it? I like creative spellings. i.e.: if she's named Abby, perhaps it should be spelled Abi, or abE. And for Igloo, Iglu. What do you think? :)

was drooling, but her boxer didn't drool at all?!??!!??!

she said the people she got her boxer from, they breed their dogs so they do not drool.

Can you do that, breed the dogs so they do drool?

that is not apart of their characteristics, and isn't it necessary to drool, esp when it's hot?

I've got a rat who, after being in the cage with two others, is always stressed and un-happy. But when I put her in another cage to be by herself, she perks up. I'm not sure why, but do you think it's possible the rat prefers to be by itself? Or just does not like the other rats?

I have a fresh water aquarium and i need help!! It seems i am doing something wrong! I have followed every internet sites directions on how to clean the tank and everything but it seems that every time i clean the tank my fish die! I NEED HELP! Im going to buy more fish today and really want to do it right. Ive tried and tried but nothig is working. Basically- so far- the only thing im curious about is the hp levels and the nitrite (sp?). I dont own anything to check for that. Should i buy something for that? Could that be the problem? Also- when i add new water... should i put the conditioning drops into the new water? How doees that work? Should i fill the whole tank up and then put in enough for 10 gallons everytime? HELP! Also- How many fish should i have at the most possible for a 10 gallon? HELP

Whenever I whistle, or sing or talk in a high voice, my cockatiel (handfed and weaned, bought 3 days ago) shakes his head vigorously for a second. At first I thought it was the wind from my mouth blowing on him, but when I whistled with a cloth in between, or whistled turning the other way, or even from across the room, he'd shake his head whether his eyes are closed or just walking around.

I've bought handfed and weaned cockatiels before and they all seem to have their own little quirks, for ex. a pearl cockatiel that I once had would plunge his head down if I got near him, asking for scritches, even on the first day I bought him. He'd then peck my hand if I don't scritch him or I don't scritch him the right way. Could this be one of those quirks of my new cockatiel? Is there a way to un-train him to do that? I think it might have been something he was trained to do while he was handfed (accidentally, probably), but it's rather annoying to seem him shake his head every time I wh

I adopted my 3 year old cat one year ago and never de-wormed him because I didn't know an indoor cat could get worms. My friend says he could because I'm always walking on an outdoor path where dogs poop and then he walks where I step and licks his paws. I mean it's not like I'm walking around with actual poop on my shoes, but there could be wormy dirt. He has problems with way too much shedding of the undercoat, clumps in his fur, and dandruff even though he gets brushed often. I wonder if I can save the cost of taking him to the vet and just get him some de-worming medicine if that should be done anyway. I don't know if the previous owner ever de-wormed him but I doubt it, although at least he's had all his shots.

Okay so I have been researching for a while and it seems most fish prefer sand over gravel. I've always used gravel but am thinking about putting sand into all my aquariums. I can't really find any sites on aqarium sand so I need answers please. How do you wash the sand before putting it in the aqarium? How much should I put? How do you keep it clean? And what are some good sands (brands, places to buy it)?

Now for the algea eater. I need to get an algea eater that will get along with corydoras and really clean the tank. I'm thinking a reguler plecostomus. Will it fit in a 15g tank with 5 corydoras and 2 australian rainbows? If not what are some common and good algea eaters besides otocinclus.

We had some people move in next door to us and they had 2 dogs that had very bad fleas. We lived next door with 3 dogs who until then had no fleas or anything. Then I guess the fleas came over into our yard and got on our dogs. The neighbors have moved and we have tried to do lawn treatments, we have dipped our dogs, we have tried frontline sprays and spot treatments and our poor dogs are miserable. I was just wondering if there is anything that you can recommend. I have heard that the K9 advantix is really good and i was wondering if any one thought that would be a good idea. I am in desperate need of advice! Thanks

kids were playing and she got the corner of the "crate divider" (which we no longer use and was stored behind something)- the part that hooks behind the metal bars in the crate- caught in her lower eye lid. I got it out within seconds and it hasn't bled and after the initial yelping when it happened, she's been calm and quiet- even wagging her tail at the door at people. I put her in her crate to rest though and to see how it goes. So far, it actually looks okay which I find amazing. Is there anything else you think I should/could do?

Im going to become a trainer for assistance dogs for the handicapped. I'm still doing research on four different breeds. I'm going to choose just one. But I want to make sure I breed them right. Is there any books or websights that are helpful? And what is a good way to make sure the puppies not trained to be assistance dogs get good homes? Should I have them do research on the breed before deciding they are able to buy one? Should I check out where the puppy will live?
What is propar vet care for new born puppies? How do I find good parent dogs?
