My folks have an aqurium shaped like a gold fish bowl(ya know the round ones). My male betta fish passed away from ick(yes it's a real diease) 4 years ago and I'd like to get another one, but one thing though. The instructions for the aqurium on the box said to have only one fish in it and then add on about a month later(I'm not sure though).

Anyway here's the question...what kind of fish are ok to put in an aquirum with bettas?

I remember seeing betta in a tank with some red fish(they were small and has a blue streak on their sides, I think they're called tetras) this was at petco, I've also seen a fish bowl with 2 bettas in it at a petco. I guess they were male and female.

my staffy loves to eat grass. I have always thought that they did it to make them selves sick but this is not the case with my dog. It never makes her sick and she eats it every day. Could she be lacking something in her diet or do you think she just likes the taste?

Some nights both of our dogs will be just staring at the ceiling. There is no shadow, I don't see any light reflecting, both of my dogs will start to growl. I heard that dogs have this "ghost" sense or something. Is it really true?

I have an extra 10 gallon aquarium and I want some ideas on what top put in it? I don't know fi I want a bunch a small schooling fish, all that I know is that I want a very active fish again SW or FW, I have a 20 gallon (SW) thats complete as in I can not add more fish without it becoming overcrowed. I would be fine with even one or two larger fish as long as they are atractive, active just plain cool to look at. An ideas would be great, I have a filter, heater, etc... (everything to run an aquarium). Thanks
~Kyle
P.S. I am willing to think out of the box rodents, reptiles, amphibians, etc...

For Madison...Thanks for your comment. All my cats are nuetered. By time she was giving to me, she must have been pregnant. She has never been outside. So no I don't feel irrresponsible. By time I had taken her to get her shots, they said she was pregnant. I can't afford a vet and the only overnight vet wouldn't take a payment plan... He just told me to leave her at an animal shelter, which I thought was cruel. The only kitten she had is doing great but the mama is still trying to push and nothing. I have been crying cuz I feel helpless. I even put a condom on and tried to stick my finger up her to feel but I couldn't get it up there. I just pray she makes it and passes these kittens, even though they are stillborn.. I just want her to be ok.

I got my hamster a few months ago and I went through the normal growing pains with her while trying to tame her. After awhile things started going well; she didn't like being taken out of her cage, but after she was out, she was fine and didn't bite me. She'd crawl all over my hands and arms without a problem and even curl up in the crook of my arm to sleep. Lately she's started biting again and I have no idea why. She'll crawl around on my hands for a long time and then suddenly she'll just chomp down on my hand or wrist or whatever is near. I just had her out for about 15 minutes and she bit me 5 times.

Does anyone have any idea why she might have started biting again?

I have a dog, i was told that he is a german shepard lab mix, but he seems rather small for that particular mix. Anyway, he is almost constantly whining, he whines when he wants somthing, but that whine is more pronounced, its a louder whine, but other times he will be walking around and he will whine its not very loud but he is almost always doin it, when he lays down he whines for awhile then he will fall asleep, no matter what you do he will whine, and if you just ignore him, than he stops. Why is my dog always whining, by the way he is about 5 months old.

I just my leopard gecko on Sunday. I took it out sunday and it seemed fine. Then yesterday i took him out and let him crawl on my bed and stuff. Last night my brother tried to pick him up and it turned its head to try to bite him it looked like so that freaked me out. Now today I put gloves on because I was afraid he was going to bite me. And i didn't pick him up because i didnt want to frighten him. so i just pet him while in his cage he turned around fast and hissed at me twice...even if they dont bite im afraid of just they're actions. I wanted a friendly gecko:(...what can i do to change his behavior?

I have multiple outside cats. Recently, one came home suddenly appearing hunched over and completely lacking energy. He was a little over a year old. We believed he'd been struck by a vehicle. In a couple days he began walking properly again, but drastically lost weight, and allowing us to walk up and pet him (he was wild), then he died.

A couple weeks ago a seemingly healthy kitten (about 4 mnths old) began sleeping all day, ceased eating, dropped weight in a matter of days and then died. Now its only remaining sibling is dropping weight, hardly eating, and has allowed me to bring food right to its nose.

Our dog, who normally investigates (if not chews on) everything, wouldn't go near the corpses of the two that died.

What type of disease could my cats have? Is it possibly rabies? If so...how would this be possible to be a sudden epidemic?

You see my boyfriend and I have been keeping two of my parents dogs for the last week. But we came home and found that the big one bit the little one on the head. I took her to the vet and he said that she had a broken jaw and could wire it shut to fix it, but it's expencieve. Here is the problem... My parents never intended to keep the little dog, she's a bit active, they were going to take her to the pound. But now that this has happened I don't want them to do that. So my boyfriend and I are thinking of keeping her. So I was just wondering can a broken jaw heal itself? We both have bills to pay and I can't afford to fix her jaw right now but I don't want her to go to the pound either.

Well I research the RES and found that they need a basking platform in tank with temperatures or 90 degrees. I would like to buy a fully aquatic turtle that does not exceed 5-6 inches, that is somewhat cheap (less that $50), and could be kept with a large oscar in a 75 gallon tank. Is there even any species that fit these requirements?? Thanks!

I would like both these fish for my aquarium but many sites don't give clear descriptions on how much they need. It says the loach needs 10 gallons and says it likes to me in schools of 3+ but doesn't say anything about 10 gallons per fish or per school or anything like that.

1) What would be a good combination of the these fish in a 20 gallon?

2) To start the nitrogen cycle, would you recommend adding the packets they sell at fish stores?

3) Is it advisable for a beginner like me to keep a Java Fern in this tank?

4) What kind of gravel would best suite my situation?
