2 AnswersCats7 years agoHow many fish total can I put in a 15 or 20 gallon aquarium?
I usually go by the one gallon per one inch of fish (grown). Does this still apply? Only fish in the aquarium will be fancy guppies, neons and zebra fish.
Thanks.
6 AnswersFish7 years agoTo Patsy G - where do you get the wood pellets?
Patsy G - you gave me Best answer but wanted to know where to get the wood stove pellets. You have no email for me to respond back to you.
I see you live in Texas. Check your local farm/feed stores for either the wood stove pellets or horse bedding pellets. Either should have them. Should be able to get a 40 lb bag for about $5.
6 AnswersCats7 years agoWhy are dew-claws removed?
I'm just curious as to why its done. Not that its wrong, but never understood why breeders do this for just about all breeds. I know with cats, no claws are (or should be) removed unless there is a major health problem.

3 AnswersCats8 years agoMaking your pet a star?
Ok if someone approached you from a cat or dog food company and wanted to use your pet in advertising would you do it? What if the food they were using was NOT what you would feed your cat/dog cause you felt it was not the best? Would you still let them use your pet in advertising and take the money.......or turn them down and tell them why?
6 AnswersCats9 years agoWhat did you do with your wedding rings after divorce?
Just curious as to what people would do or have done with their rings? For me, I saved it for my son and will be giving them to give (or trade) to his fiancee'. I had NO desire to wear them in any form after my divorce from my son's father.
What would you do (or did)?
17 AnswersMarriage & Divorce9 years agoWhat kind of cat would you never own and why?
For me I have 3 main cats I would never own.
1. Any long hair cat - I just do not have the time or patience to do the combing and grooming.
2. A munchkin (just do not like the deformity of short legs - cats are meant to leap high and climb)
3. A Sphynx - I like fur on the cat. Personalities of Sphynx are great, but no hair is a turn off for me.
