She is a novice, as am I, at keeping fish as pets. Can someone help us out with choosing what fish to get? She loves clownfish cuz they look cute…are there any fresh-water fish that are similiarly cute-looking, and easy to keep? I would appreciate any advice or suggestions…what fish to get, aquarium needs,etc. Thanks!

If the flood was local, wouldn’t the bird simply fly to another tree and wait for the water to go down. The fossils of the birds that I have seen have all been arched back death stretch fossils. In other words, they are posed like they died in the mud. What would cause that?

Are there gay animals, please put my mind at ease here.
Anyone out there ever had this experience with any pet. Thanks.

There was no change in her diet or exercise. I brought her to the vet and they thought she looked and seemed very healthy, but fat. Now one of my male ferrets is also hugely fat, and his fur has gotten very thick, and the colour is slightly different. Is it normal for ferrets to get blubbery and get extra fur in the winter?

Do cats know just how to deal with snakes like smaller felines do?
And if that video isnt a feeder rabbit, duck or chicken, plz take it down. I dont support exotic animals as pets and i definitely dont support animal cruelty.

Or will it filter out the salt from the water and kill the fish? If I can’t use a normal charcoal filter please tell me what type of filter I should use.
normal filters have charcoal in them so can i use those normal filters that are made for fresh water fish, for saltwater fish? or will it filter out the salt from the water?

Our neighbors don’t seem to mind! Our dogs are in a kennel so they aren’t being hurt by this dog they are hurting themselves. They get so worked up and if they bump into one another they start fighting. Is there anything i can do to stop this from happening? Legally or otherwise?
