Fish questions (stocking tank and fish stores)?

okay so I am buying a 20 gallon fish tank after I move to vegas and I need to know some decent fish stores.

I know of one called fish tropical which is close to where my new house is going to be but I heard it is in a rough neighborhood so i am not sure if it is the right place for me, and I do not know how the prices are there.

I am wanting a fresh water aquarium, so no all saltwater fish stores.



Also I am thinking about putting these things in the tank right now:

2 ghost shrimp

1 or 2 bristlenose plecs

and considering either guppies or molly

Should I get a Shiba Inu or a Shikoku?

Exercise is not a problem, and I am fine with the grooming.



How much do they usually cost? And does the AKC not recognizing the Shikoku make a difference?
I believe the breeds temperaments are about equal, they are both hunting dogs, both closely tied with nature, about the same size... there are a breeder of both dogs in Canada, and they have some very great information on both breeds and their differences

How do you know if dogs are really color blind?

if you arent the eyes of a dog how would you know and are cats color blind
Scientists can tell by measuring the amount of cones in the eye. The cones are the structure that pick up on color. So the scientists have a way of measuring each type of cone and determining which of the types of cone it is, and being able to tell what color the eye can pick up. And by the way, dogs are not really colorblind any differently that humans are- they just don

What kind of dog should we get?

We have a large yard, not fenced in, and live in the country. We already have two dogs, a male and a female, one large and one giant. The breed must be active, loyal, and intelligent. High energy is no problem. Something that can sled with our female, an Alaskan Malamute. Our male is our Guard Dog. MUST be large, x-large, or giant.

Which is better and more efficient, 80 gph pump w/DIY filter or a sponge filter?

I know pumps over 80 gph are better but I am trying to use what I have for a DIY filter. Speaking of mechanical filters, which is more efficient at filtering: a sponge filter or an 80 gph pump with DIY filter?



**Note** This is for my 60 gallon tank and a 40 gallon tank. The filters above are not the only filtration I have for the tank. I am just wondering which is more efficient at mechanical filtering. I have about 10-15 fish in the 60 gallon tank and a flowerhorn in the 40 gallon tank.
GPH is meaningless without knowing what kind of filter. Canisters and sponge filters work off of a much lower flow rate than hanging style filters, for instance.



And of course, DIY can be anything, so unless you went on to explain exactly how you were going to make this filter, the question as to which would be more efficient would be impossible to answer.



One thing I can tell you is that sponge filters with a good air pump attached are very, very efficient and do a fantastic job at both mechanical and biological filtration, and you will be hard placed to do better with DIY.
For mechanical filtration and DIY filter is better because you can use more fine materials. Sponge filters let a lot of debris go through. If you are making a canister filter put cloth on the bottom layer for better mechanical filtration.

If the blue nose is mixed with a red nose does it still have red in her if she is a blue nose puppy?

mother is a red nose gator and her dad is a blue machinegun kelly . she came out brindle blue and red with a blue nose . does she still have red in her. they say a blue ahs a lesser drive than a rednose is that correct.if so. can my blue have a rednose drive since her mother was a red nose ?
Your questions are pretty idiotic.



Color is color,nothing more.The color of the dog(s) are based on the genetics of previous dogs in that line.Breeding one color to another does nothing,means nothing.Any of the pups produced will be whatever color the genes dictate.



Most blue dogs called American Pit Bull Terriers or Pit Bulls are in fact American Bullies.A mixed breed,developed as a companion animal.The creators wanted the looks and name of the Pit Bull,the blue color and lesser drive of the AmStaff...which was the original mix.There has since been bulldog and/or mastiff added to most lines of American Bully,to alter size and/or add extreme features.

My cat lets other cats eat his food. How do i stop neighbours cats coming in catflap?

The only way to really stop other cats coming in is to use the Pet Porte Smart Flap. When a cat tries to get access it automatically scans their microchip implant. The locks only unlock if it recognises your cats microchip number. You can scan in up to 32 cats that you want to be allowed access. Other cat flaps either rely on a collar that your cat could lose or other cats could bash them open.
Move the catflap and conceal it somewhere, then show your cat where it is, but don

I Need To Know When Should Golden Retrievers Newborns Go To The Vet?

At 6 weeks for their first set of puppy shots.
within 24hrs after they are born. Just for a general check up though unless something else appears to be wrong
Within 24 hours of whelping - with the dam - to check that all are well and that the dam has whelped all the pups and placentas.

i got a new budgie yesterday.when we brought him home he was really scared.today he is a bit better after i fed him some spray millet out of my hand. but now all he ever does is sit on a perch and sometimes chew on one of his toys but not usually.he hasnt eaten anything or dranks except when i brought the water and food right up to his face.he also closes his eyes for like 5 seconds and then opens them when he is just sitting.what si wrong with him?
He has not yet become accustomed to his new home. Also let the room go dark at sunset and light with Sunrise so he can sleep all the dark hours as in the wild. No lights on and no disturbances.
