HELP!!

This question is more targeted for conformation, but I'm in juniors as well. I imagine the answer would be the same.

Just added fungus eliminator which I now know I probably didn't need to do... so I went ahead and put my carbon filter back in and changed out about 2 gallons of water for new. Is there anything aside from doing a complete water change that I can do to speed the process along? I'm not liking the yellow water! I'm guessing that I'll probably have to wait it out... so how long should that be?

He didn't look like he had been eaten, just torn in half. I keep hearing a tapping sound in the tank also. I suspect I might have a mantis shrimp, but I also have a coral beauty angel fish and have heard that they will nip at inverts. Is it possible that my angel could have niped my shrimp in half?

My brotha house was broken into the 3rd time this year(i know its one of his so called friends). I see its possible to train little small dogs to use litter box. But is it possible to train a pit bull to use a litter box?

4-5 skunk botia loaches (not clown loach, skunk loach)
8 platies
2 opaline gouramis (female and female)
1 paradise gourami

Is that a decent stocking, and can I add any more fish (maybe just a few more, or is that good?)

By the way, the inch per gallon rule is sucky and not true :)

Cheers!

P.S. By the way I know the platies will freakin give birth all the time, I'm prepared. :)

I have two cats. Previous to my boyfriend moving in, my cats had free reign.. I let them up onto the furniture. Well, my boyfriend came from a dog house and likes to lounge around on furniture more than I do, so we're trying to (gently) train my two 8 year old cats to stay off.

I have purchased them a carpeted cat playground (three levels to scratch and lay around, about as tall as a medium sized bookshelf) and a fairly comfy pet bed, and they used to use them both (I've had the cat playground for about three years and the pet bed for about a year) but have now decided they prefer the furniture.

We usually spray them with a water bottle when we catch them, and I've tried guiding them to the cat furniture, but nothing seems to be working. I have also tried organic stay off furniture spray, but it doesn't bother them. I prefer to stay organic and not use a lot of harsh chemicals in the house. Does anyone have any further suggestions?

She is a female blue dutch bunny. I really want an original name, so no hopper or anything else.

I just caught my dog eating my jack-o-lantern. It doesn't appear that he swallowed any, but just in case, is he going to be OK or should I take him to the vet?

A few weeks ago i went to pets at home and purchased two female gouramis, I knew when i bought them that they had white spot. The people in the shop were reluctant to sell me them but when i told them i had some white spot treatment and a tank to keep them seperate from my other fish they let me pick them out.
At the time i couldnt find any female gouramis as the petshops only sold the males as apparently the females were too undesirable.
I treated them for white spot even though the ones i had picked had no visable signs of the parasite. I know they could still carry it as it lasts a while. I finnished the full course of treatment then put them into my comunity tank 2 weeks after this and they died not long after. My male then died along with a few of my other fish and now i have a female guppy who was hanging around the filter and today she has visible white spot. I know stupid me but what do i do? should i put her out of her misery or what? I have removed her from the main tank
