I have a hexagon shaped fish tank 55gal and it is to deep for florescent lighting. These mercury vapor bulbs dont require a ballist or something do they. Can I screw one into a regular ceramic light fixture. Also Im going to build a top for the aquarium myself Will this light create a lot of heat do I need to add venting slits and a computer fan to keep the air moving. If you know a lot about these bulbs tell me everything.
THANKS

Funny, but true.

Winter (and the static electricity) have arrived in our home. I love giving our dogs massages but I keep zapping them. So far they don't seem to mind, but I worry that I'm going to condition them into avoiding me. :-p

I never had this problem (that I can remember) with previous dogs. Any suggestions?

I know the photos aren't great but yeah. I looked it up and decided it must be a bristle worm which sound scary! But it's so big I can't imagine they aren't MORE... plese tell me it's possible this was the only one.

But furthmore. I took the rock out and put it on the kitchen counter for removal of the worm.... when I saw millions of THESE (the long thing all the way to the right)

now I realize you can barely see this but we initially thought they were tiny worms until we saw one swimming in the bowl. my boyfriend said they looked like tiny shrimp and was wondering if Troy (our peppermint shimp) had reproduced alone... then I said HEY! That could be an amphipod!

Aren't they tiny shrimp like looking things?

I dont know if this one fish that i have has ick or not. only one has it and it is all over her. but im not sure because last time they had it the white spots were bigger, rounder, and whiter. its smaller this time and it almost look like her scales are shedding or something. she is not eating and swims around really fast and then settles somewhere and kind of just floats there, sinking a bit... she doesnt come up for air (which i know is a sign for ick). i have ick removal stuff that i bought but is it safe for the baby fish i have in the tank? help?!

I don't need a lecture on how to raise them. I have had plenty of experience with big dogs.

One female pit is about 2 and the other pit is under 1. The lab is about 1. This aggression just started recently as the older pit turned 2. What is the best way to train the 3 to live together peacefully?

I saw a unique 3 gallon tank that I like, but the top is open - do those sorts of fish - that would be okay in a small tank - like to jump?

I have had two Bettas (the only other fish I have kept) commit suicide by jumping - so now I keep them covered...someone told me betta's are jumpers....

But what about these fish - could I put them in an uncovered tank?

This one specifically...

Thanks everyone
Peace to all
Be well

Well my lil girl is about 4 months now and weighs about 20 lbs. She is a mix breed (lab/chow/collie?) so I'm not sure how big shes going to get. Anywho i feed her three times a day-the appropriate feeding proportions that are according to her age and weight on the food bag (DRY food)..... in the morning and at night i add one teaspoon of CAN food with a little warm water to her food because she (OBVIOUSLY) prefers it more and she'll eat all of her food- where she doesn't with her plain dry. Is this a bad habit to start or is it ok to keep doing this with her? I mean I'm use to feeding my dogs all dry but adding a little can food helps her eat it better and she will eat all of her food that way.

So what do you think...is it ok to continue this or do you think this is a bad habit to start????

I would like to build a small outdoor aviary and am wondering if ringnecks and bobwhite would do ok together or if they would give each other diseases/fight/etc? Could you add pigeons to the mix?

I have an almost 2 year old labradoodle and I would say she is very energetic. We just started to foster another dog and Addie (my dog) will not stop trying to play with our foster (Mojo.) She is constantly trying to play, tug on his ears and french kiss him (she gets her entire tongue in his mouth- yuck!) He sometimes growls to tell her to quit- but she backs up for only a second and then goes back to bothering him again. It is tiring to watch- I feel like a babysitter! Does anyone have any ideas of how to train her to just chill out?

I was wondering if my almost 4 yr old Newfoundland, Saint Bernard mix, Pepper, needs some kind supplement or help for her joints or hips as she gets older. She is VERY active for a BIG dog. She weighs about 120 lbs. She is in perfect condition and has no problems yet. Her parents didn't have problems as far as I know. But I know that most dogs get artheritis as they age especially large breeds and some get hip problems. Pep is almost a senior by extra-large dog standards (Newfies life span is 6 -8 years) and I love her and just want to be comfortable when she get to her golden years. Any advice will help! Thanks!

For the last few weeks, my pet rat, Pox, has been knocking her waterbottle out of the cage all the time! I don't know why she's doing this: She's over 2 years old and has never done so before. I've tried two different bottles, (both seem to be working) and I've tried tap water and filtered water. Can anyone tell me why she's doing this or what I can do about it? Thanks so much! 8D
