We buy some of our products and either petco or petsmart, because every Saturday, Petsmart lets the Humane Society bring in their animals that are up for adoption. Petco also does it. I HATE Petland, and we NEVER support them because of them selling puppies and the puppy mills. We will support petco and petsmart because of the dog and cat adoption they have, but what about THEIR animals? Where do the hamsters and birds and things come from? Do petco and petsmart take better care of their animals than Petland (no matter what, I still hate Petland) I just want to know where their animals come from, because the only things I've ever bought there were products and hermit crabs. (And yes, i only rescue my animals from shelters, but I havent heard of a hermit crab rescue, or else i would have adopted hermit crabs) Do any of you agree with Petco and Petsmart too? And who also hates Petland?

Is this normal? i just bought my goldfish yesturday morning (7 fantails 3 black morres).. they were fine swimming aroud peacefully, i fed them last night goldfish pellets they werent to excited took them a while to realise their was food, the foods all gone so im guessing they ate it all, but this morning theyve been swimming around like crazy - they are all the same size pretty much and i have big castle in their aswell which they can hide in. is it normal for them to be swimming around really fast??

also i have a fluroscent light in my tank, is this bad for them to keep on for a long time? i no that they get scared even when i turn my room light on n swim into the castle to hide.. so is it beta to keep it off? do it bother them?

I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 rosy barbs and two tiger barbs. my tank has been set up for almost five months. There is an irritating green algae problem. I was wondering if there are any good algae eating fish I could get that wouldn't outgrow the small tank. My barbs aren't going to get any bigger than their current size. There is plenty of room for an algae eating fish if needed.
any advice?

My husband and I really want a dog but with a three year old and a new baby coming in Spring we are cautious..he is very experienced with dogs and has suggested we get a grown one as puppies are just like babies. There is a 5 year old Staffordshire bull terier ***** who has been with a loving home (with kids and pets) all her life but now they are emmigrating and need to find her a good home....5 seems a bit old to me though...husband says its not old for a healthy dog...also Im wary of Staffies.....what do you think?

Melekai is a 4 yr old Lab. She is very spoiled but is some what contained right now. She loves chasing squirel's and now bunnies. But she snores like the dad & ruff ruff in her sleep? It is really funny. Any ideas?

For me it was my Sheltie Cody. He was my buddy for thirteen years..i was 3 when my parents brought him home. i was 15 when my mother and i said good-bye to him. he was humanely euthanized after multiple trips to the vet...finally his kidney's gave out.
i loved that dog like a sibling! he always made me smile, i knew he loved me. i still get emotional thinking about him now, 15 yrs after his passing.
i think he made the biggest impact on my life because he's the one that showed me from the very beginning how wonderful dogs are, how caring and loving and loyal. because of him i think i am able to see the good in things w/a much better understanding than if i had not had the opportunity to have his friendship and love.


What dog made the biggest impact in YOUR life?

Some of my platies are swimming around the tank really slow. Sometimes they don't even swim and they just sit at the top of the water. Whats wrong?

Why is there just so much snobbery about crossbreeds? Seriously, I don't understand it at all. Is there a valid reason, or is it just jealous pedigree breeders who think they're stealing the limelight?
I personally think that crossbreeds are a good idea; they're healthy, often very nice looking and have great temperaments. So what's wrong with them? Please tell me!
I'm considering getting a crossbreed, so I'd like some info please! :D

Thank you!!!!!

I have 2 mollies, and 3 cory catfish. I currently feed them on tropical flakes and sinking catfish pellets, but what else can I feed them?

I mean vegetables etc.

What vegetables can I feed them?

And in regard to frozen bloodworms etc...how do you feed these? Open a block and put it in, or defrost it first?

Thanks!

If so, what other type of catfish can I get to shoal it with.

I'd prefer something other than a peppered :)

My puppy had been on advantix since she was old enough to be on it. We started having problems 2 months ago, she was very itchy and had bumps all over her. We went to the vet immediately and they said she had a flea allergy and found live fleas on her. the vet treated her twice that month with her flea medicine. The advantix and then 2 weeks later frontline. We had our condo flea treated and the carpet professionally cleaned. We stopped sending her to daycare for the time being to control the problem. We have no other dogs. She STILL had fleas. We had the house retreated and went back to the vet. Bella was put on antibiotics for her soars and prednisone for the allergy. they said to treat her every 3 weeks witht he frontline. The vet prescribed a chemical to treat the house with and we have. SHE STILL HAS FLEAS!!!! I feel so bad I don;t know what to do.

Someone I know is betta fish sitting, and he has built a bubble nest. She wants to remove it but is asking what the best way to do this is. Can she just change the water, or scoop the bubbles out?

I have just purchased some platies and they were in the same tank together when I bought them. What I was wondering is why aren't they schooling? I read in a book and several people told me that they are a highly schooling fish. Please Help.

I got a Miniature Dachshund for my birthday about a month ago. And we are planning on moving into our own house this summer. But when we do get into our new house, We wanna get another dog, and my boyfriend wants a big dog. He really wants a Lab.
I was wondering, what large dog breeds get along with small breeds?
Do you think it would be alright to get the lab?? Since my Dachshund will be about a year old, and the lab would be a pup. So the large dog would grow up with the small.
