>>3308871Almost all of the shrimp I got were really small (like 1 cm) so they were all clear. By reddish I meant that they are starting to gain their red/pink color.Already saw several molts so I guess they have adapted really well. Not seen a single dead shrimp either.
>>3308875you don't "need" to change water if>you have enough plants >the tank is fully cycled>you don't overstock/over feed clean is our perception of it. The fish don't really care, some do better in dirty tanks infact, but if the ammonia or nitrates are too high fish will die. In my tank which is overgrown, the filter only contains biomedia, and understocked, i don't change water.BUT, if you want to add a new fish you should change your water. Look up old tank syndrome.
>>3308879oh very smol. I assumed you bought them as adults. Sounds like they're doing well then anon
>>3308875>>3308880i like cory's explanation of old tank syndrome. He's a great resource on a variety of fish keeping topics. He's more of idea's rather than hard facts guy if that makes anysense. More artful than calculated in his fishkeeping.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXXJ8UgM2kM
>>3308875Most of us do weekly water changes I imagine. Only a select few with the wisdom and self-control to perfectly balance their tanks are free from this burden.Me? I overstocked a bit and do weekly 20% water changes. I have learned though and will be more careful in the future.
>Like cats>Want a cat>Horribly allergic to catsThis sucks man
>>3308104I can't say how much of a difference it makes, but it's enough that they're known as better. Also anti allergy tablets work well.
>>3308120Yea It does but I can't be with a cat if I have to take the nose spray one + oral one every single day. That 1 day i forget to take I might seriously die in my sleep. Still interested in the other cats tho

My medium sized dog is about 9 years old. I'm worried as he gets older he'll mess his joints with his habits of bounding up the stairs and jumping on and off the bed multiple times every day. Is this something to be concerned about? Should I be taking precautionary steps about this?
What kind of things should I feed my dog to help him bulk up?
>>3308900cats
>>3308272Cute name! Having another dog around should help with socialization. Even so, you can still take her out and about with you, actually going into places, interacting with people, and being in the thick of it is not the important part anyways. She can be exposed to things from afar and just learn that they're ok.>>3308279Honestly I doubt the ear is injured, puppy ears go through lots of wonky phases, it looks normal to me and if it doesn't seem like he's in any pain I wouldn't worry. He's really young and it's very normal for puppies' ears to go through floppy phases like that even after they've been erect for a while.>>3308815Honestly the fact that he's still doing those things on his own indicates that his joints are in good shape. You probably don't need to worry about restricting his activity to keep him healthy. Just let him continue to do what he's comfortable with. You can feed joint supplements to help keep his joints in good condition. And if you're really worried it can't hurt to ask your vet what they think about his activity.My dog Maple (40-45lbs) is 8.5 years old now and I can't say I'm immune to those worries, but that's how I deal with it anyways--she's as active and athletic as ever and although I'm conscious about what I ask of her physically, I don't prevent her from doing the things she enjoys. She's in good shape and I intend to keep it that way!
>>3308900What do you feed him normally? I've heard good things about feeding "satin balls" for helping dogs to gain weight. But basically anything high calorie, high protein, high fat will help
Self explanatory, really

>>3308798I forgot the mention but I can sorta push the lump back in and my hen doesn't seem to be bothered by it when I'm touching it or in general. I've cleaned the feathers around her vent but the weather around here hasn't given me a chance to give her a proper soak. The skin around the lump has also been scabbing pretty bad lately due to the lack of feathers to protect the skin with her daily activities.
>>3308805I asked because RIRs are pretty notorious for peritonitis, even when young. Golf ball sized and soft doesn't seem right for week three though. At this point I'd expect her to have a very firm distension. Palpation through the vent is medical speak for finger in the pooper. Cut your nails back, wear a glove, and use vaseline or another body safe lubricant. The colon is sorta to the right and is wide open. The oviduct is where you probably need to get. It's sorta to the left and up a bit. You have to wiggle around to find the sphincter and push through. The experience is shocking and weird for them, but not painful for a laying hen. Don't force your way anywhere, the tissue in there can be punctured by your finger if you just jab about. Nothing requires force, just consistent pressure.I'd class this kind of exploration as okay for a novice, but not the squeamish. You're looking for a fully developed egg (be careful to not break any developing eggs!), or to see if you can feel the other side of whatever is causing the bump. If you can't feel anything even after pushing the lump in, then it could be a hernia. I've never had a herniated hen but it's certainly possible. Imaging would be required to confirm, and surgery to address.
>>3308829I wasn't aware that was an issue with the breed. I mostly mentioned the possibility of a hernia because the bulge was in the same spot as the injury she had before, so it's more right of the vent than directly underneath it like the symptoms of some conditions. I'll give her another look tomorrow. So I should be trying to ease a finger more to the upper left to try and find the oviduct?The last time I checked her tried feeling a little downwards in the direction of the lump, but since I wasn't sure what I was suppose to be looking for, I didn't try to go very deep.
>>3308854Yes, you want to get into the oviduct which means the kinda upper left. It's hard to give direction because everything kinda floats around in there. The sphincter to get into the oviduct feels like a little nub of tissue. It's pretty obvious when you're in. The colon is easy to spot because there's nothing blocking it and generally there's fecal down there. You can get an entire finger inside either path easily. Exploring in the direction of the lump is a good idea, but the space the cloaca occupies is much smaller than that of the oviduct or colon, so you'll have to go down one to be able to feel for it I think. Really I'd be looking for a lost egg. If it's not that, then there's not much you can do anyways other than sate your curiosity.

Is it a good idea to feed my cat EXTREMELY spicy food from time to time?
I think it's cool how cats ears rotate when they listen to something. Do you think they can control that consciously like we can move our eyes or w/e, or is it an entirely reflexive thing?
My cat had kittens and they are starting to toddle! I keep them in a shelter on the foot of my bed and they climb all over me. It's thunderstorming now and mama cat is lying next to me purring. It's so wonderful and I've never been so happy in my life.
How safe is it to eat the random birds and rodents my cat brings home from time to time? Money's tight lately and they're already dead yanno, better not to waste it?
My friend said when a cat's too old to play with a laser pointer anymore it's time to look into getting them put down, do you think this is true?

Can I give my more active reptiles a running wheel? For example Tegus. I think the wheels used for cats would fit well for that. As long as it’s even used
