I totally agree and was trying to make a point about that in my last post. You did a better job of it than I did though. lol

I have two indoor cats...one is 19 and the other is 12. When we take one of them on our back deck (with me right by her side) thinking she might enjoy the sun, she sits there for a minute or two and then cries to get back in. They have never had an urge to go outside...and I'm thankful for...

For fleas....Advantage for sure! It's a great product, and I (as well as the clients at my work) have never had a problem with it. :) In order to purchase Advantage, you must see your vet as local pet stores do not carry the product.

Fleas can definately be spread through contact with other animals who have them. Also, if your animal brings fleas into the house, and you don't regularly vacuum or wash carpets and beddings, (especially where the animal sleeps etc.), it is easier for them to reproduce as the eggs remain in...

I agree with that statement %100!! I believe there hasn't been an increase of pitbull bites, yet the media discovers a few cases and all of a sudden it's blown way out of proportion as they scrape up every bit of negative information they can on the breed. I went to a lecture on dog...

Oh PK I'm so sorry to hear about Yoshi. :-( I know how hard it is to lose a pet- It's like part of you goes with them. "A loved one is not gone until they are forgotten. And to live in the hearts of those left behind is to live forever". --Carole Miller (from a Rainbow Bridge site) Just...

Hi, :) Unfortunately a ten gallon doesn't really leave you with a lot of room. I would go with either a few Cherry Barbs...OR...Neon or Cardinal Tetras. As your bottom feeders I would go with three ottos. If you do decide to go with the tetras make sure that your tank is fully cycled as they...

Well at least I know for sure now. :P It's probably for the best...although I wouldn't mind some little guys I'm not experienced enough. Well I'm sure my Puffs won't mind one bit. ;)

Thanks for the reply. :D Yeah I figured they might be snail eggs...but I have never seen them before so I thought I would ask. lol The only thing is that the snails never last more than a few seconds with my guys. :lol: Oh and I just looked at the sack today..some of the white balls are...

I originally posted in the Oddballs section because I have two puffers in the tank....but it won't let me upload pictures there. What do you think they could be? I hope it's not something gross. lol Any help would be greatly appreciated. :) Edit: They appear to be in some clear sac.

Oh what a gorgeous fish! :) Nice pictures. In case you didn't know I'm a big fan of RTB and Rainbow/Ruby sharks too. lol I look forward to seeing more pictures. :thumbs:

I spent $2.75 Cdn (each) for my puffers. :)

Hi Ry, :) For me personally..the cat. Obviously I would be upset beyond words if something happened as well... but I go back to the issue that my cats have never been outdoors so they don't know the difference. In terms of keeping an animal indoors...the same could be said for all animals...

Thanks. :) Snail eggs maybe? I wanted to put a picture up but the the Upload button is not there for some reason.

I'm sorry if it seemed like I was sliging mud...I wasn't trying to..just voicing my opinion in a polite way.

What do dwarf puffer eggs look like? The other day i noticed a clear sack(or at least that's what it looks like) with white little balls inside of it. Now I obviously don't know what they look like... :*) .....so I'm wondering if I'm going to be expecting puffer babies...or snails? :lol:

I agree and should have included that in my last post. Done. :D

What type of plecos? The only kind that I would put in a tank that size would be a bristlenose. A 30 gallon is too small for Bala sharks. I agree with Diver...the barbs would do well.

Hi :) Well I used to have a rtb shark and I currently have a rainbow shark(quite similar). They can be very aggressive and territorial. I don't know if I would get one if you already have five clown loaches. I have found that they generally don't tolerate other bottom feeders that well and...

I am very sorry to hear that Silver. :( You and your dogs will be in my thoughts.

I agree 100%!!! Along with everything else that you have said. I have kept both of my cats indoors for all of their lives (one in 11 and one is 18) and they are very healthy and happy. One of my cats does have kidney disease but that unfortunately ( :-( ) comes with age. If a cat has...

It's funny that you should mention this. Last weekend my boyfriend went to pick up a few puffers for me at Petsmart as we were told they had some over the phone. He got there and there they were... labelled as "dwarf puffers" and all... but the salesman then proceeded to tell him that they...

Overrated- Angel Fish, Plecos Underrated- Rainbow Sharks, Rams Just right- Cories :D

Hi :) I have kept both RTB and Rainbow sharks. They are both territorial fish but rainbow sharks are usually a little less aggressive. Both species should not be kept together(sometimes it works with really large tanks but I don't recommend it) or with long finned slow moving fish. They...

Hi, :) No you can go with Zebra Danios as they are fast and hardy fish that will in "most" cases do well with TB's. The down side is that they are not red or yellow and prefer to be kept in larger groups. A 20 gallon with already six fast swimming fish and a shark doesn't leave you with a lot...

thanks. :( I want to get another one but it's hard you know? There was a few spunky ones there at the time when I bought this little guy...but I just fell in love with him. Steppy: Thanks. I think I will try a different store.

I have no idea. He started looking lethargic yesterday and I noticed that his colours were starting to fade. But even when I got him last week he didn't flare or streatch out his fins at all. Maybe he was sick the whole time?

I didn't want to make a separate thread but I thought that I would let everyone know that he didn't make it. :-(

I am so sorry to hear that Wuv. :-( I can't even imagine how hard that was to hear. I hope (although easier said than done) that you feel better soon.

Hi, :) If you can't go with a Betta I would get one or two dwarf puffers.

Thanks for the pictures Steppy. :)

Really? I would love to see some pictures sometime. :)

Expensive ones? lol I thought they all cost around the same price. I really like the ones that both Sorrell and Treefrog have(I can't reacall the name) but I can't find them anywhere. The ones at my lfs all look the same...just different colours. But I love him just the same. :D

It is! :lol: I was at the store for over an hour trying to decide which one to take home. Thanks and I will. :)

I got my first Betta today! Well maybe not my first...I had one when I was really young. Anyway after a few months of viewing everyones wonderful betta pictures and reading up on them I couldn't resist any longer. I'm so excited. He is purple blue and red and I've decided to call him Willy...

Hi Pointy :) Any luck finding someone? By the way how old is she and how long have you had her? Do you know if she was exposed to many different people when whe was younger? Specifically men?

Is it possible that he had a bad experience with another dog when he was younger? Dogs that have something traumatic happen to them in the "puppy imprint stage" are more likely to have a problem when they are older...and it's also harder to fix. During puppy classes my dog was attacked(this...

Well my Cherry barb is a real trooper. My aunt (without my permission or knowledge) bought me five cherry barbs for my birthday and just put them into my tank. Well it was a nice thought(even though my tank became officially overstocked) but they all had ick! :hyper: They all ended up...

LMAO Good thread. This was mine: "Hey, :) In a 25 gallon tank you can have a rtb shark as long as he is the only rtb in the tank. They can get 6" long so you have to make sure that you don't overstock. He should also to have a place to hide...rocks or a cave are good. DO NOT put any long...

You would think that it was my Rainbow shark but it's actually a very moody danio. :lol:
