There are these little white bugs in my 2 gallon betta tank. He's by himself and the bugs are very small and somtimes rest on the top of the water. Other times they are on the tank glass or on my betta. I don't think they are hurting betta, but i'd just like to know what they are, any clue?

Currently, I have 3 hermit crabs; Hermie (medium-sized), Blackie (medium-sized, a bit bigger than Hermie, but not a lot), and finally Spike ( small size) Every since I purchased them down the shore ( I bought Blackie at Petsmart) ?I noticed they don't eat much; like not at all. Once I left out their food for 1 week, and they barley ate any!! Are they sick, or do they not eat much? And, do you think I'm feeding them enough? I feed them about 1 tablespoon of FMR land hermit crab food, with a little piece of carrot once in a while. They don't eat the carrot, so now I've stopped giving it to them. I change their food every 3 days, but it looks the same as when I put it in their cage. So, are hermit crabs supposed eat so little, or am I feeding them incorrectly? What food do you feed your hermits? Any suggestions?

One of its hind legs kind of sticks out. When she walks it doesnt really touch the ground. I've seen it for about 2 days and im really worried. I've been searching for a question like this and the person who asked the question said that their vet said that it will heal in about 3 days.

Dose any one hate this fad as much as i do! Here in australia designer doys eg- goldendoodles and labrodoodles are out of controll. They are everywhere and it seems everyone wants to jump aboard and get one. And the most ridiculous thing is these mutts are costing more than purebread dogs! I show standard poodle and everytime we have a litter people are asking for a "***** on full registration " without conditions. On full registration means it is entire and hasnt been desexed. This anoys me because genuine people that are trying to get into showing poodles basicly CANT because breaders are to scared to sell puppies to new people incase they turn out to use this dog later on over another mutt!

Winter is coming soon and IF i get a dog, i`d have no idea how to walk it or atleast get it some exercise when theres a big snow or if theres ice on the sidewalk or streets & if its like 20* outside. We have a smallish house & the dog i might get would be a Border Collie.

I read that they need much exercise or have something to do.

The dog might most likely be a Puppy, not a full-grown Dog.

HELP!

I have a pure bred AKC registered Golden Retriever. My cousin has a golden retriever and she got her golden fixed. After she got her fixed her golden started having blatter control problems. I have heard that this can be avoided if the dog has a litter of puppies before getting fixed. I am planning on breeding her once with a AKC golden retriever. I am going to wait untill she is 2 years old so I can get her OFA and CERF tested. I will be finding the puppies good screened homes before they are born. My question is, am I a backyard breeder?

If you have dog, please indicate whether you sleep with them or not. A reason for doing so would nice too. Also, if you think of your wife or husband as a dog...lol ..you can indicate that too.

Obviously food, water, proper bedding, catnip toys. I want her to be mentally stimulated and satisfied 100% She's under 1 human year I think and she was a street kitty. Super friendly but she's still independent at times and I've got all these things for her but she meows all friggin night some times. I tried letting her out today and she sniffed around for like 2 seconds, heard a noise then bolted back inside.

The label says that it softens water.....
I am setting up a new aquarium - to put my Betta in - he is used to dechlorinated tap water....which is on the hard side.

Its not going to shock my fish is it?

She won't use the wood, I got her some fruit flavoured wood a couple of weeks ago to see if that worked better but she still won't touch it!
What can I give her?

Tank is 75 Gal. i need to use hard water (on tap) and stabilize it with API Tap Water Conditioner and when i do it causes PH swings and freaks my fishy friends out. i need stability without too many chemicals at a low/average PH level.

just bought a long-finned zebra danio today. I put it in my tank and the danio was cheking it out. I leave for a few minutes and when I come back, the danio is chasing the long finned. I don't see any white bumps on the gills, but I can't tell if this is aggressiveness. I've looked on the internet but nothing is helpful. I've seperated them. I don't have access to any more danios, so I cant get more in my tank. O ya, the danio is also seems to target the long fin's back fin. And a few days ago 2 of my guppies died due to direct sun. Could seeing his friends die influence this behavior? Is it ok to put them together again? Will they kill each other? Are they mating?

i have two RES turtles, two painted turtles, and two desert horned lizards, and in each group one of them is active and the other one is all lazy and shy, so i have 1 shy and lazy RES turtle, one painted turtle, and one DHL, and i have 1 active RES turtle, 1 painted turtle and, one DHL is that a coincidence or is that what happens when you have two animals of the same kind?

watch this awesome video and tell me what you think.
