Re: TAI Member Pet's Help and Discussions!

If its a fresh water aquarium ,then you can start off by using some good RO purified water.
They are filter systems which are the size of a small dustbin which sit under the aquariums,they have various types of fibers inside them & these ensure 3 to 6 months(depending on capacity) of hassle free maintenance. I think they are called external canister filters.
Also the type of light being used in the aquarium has effects on algae growth(avoid sunlight) which is not good for fresh water aquariums. Dont leave the light on 24hrs a day.
Dont over feed the fish,spread the food over wide area if you have fishes snatching food away from other fishes.
Make sure you powder some hard pellets for smaller fish or it can make their stomach clog/swell.

I have marine aquarium(salt water) so its a bit diff from freshwater aquariums,all the waste goes & gets collected in a can called a protein skimmer.Something like a natural RO tank. And if aquarium has natural sea elements in it like live sand and wet rocks from the sea,then the fish can stay fed on these & only have to feed less once a day.

Re: TAI Member Pet's Help and Discussions!

^ Haha had seen this video long ago, I am strict about not feeding my dog from my table,but my mom spoils them when am not around,so i usually have one Dobermann (he is taller than the avg Dobermann) put his head on the table & follow my hand as i eat. This usually happens around lunch time as they are fed after our lunch.

Re: Looking for Puppy dog in Chennai

Leaving the breed aside , have you thought this through ? We also got a puppy beagle, actually my sister did. Mom and dad always used to say no just because they knew she won't take much care since she'll be in her office and all responsibility in the end will come to my mom.

me and my dad have to come to office , my sis also works and mom liked him but couldn't take him for walks since she said she just can't. She used to give him food at proper times when we were away.

But just because of this reason we have to give it to my sis friend who also were looking for a dog.

The puppy was only 5 weeks old and if a puppy stays at one home for a long time he won't feel comfortable after a certain age in other home so had to make a quick decision [sad]

Anyways , i didn't know i liked dogs so much. He stayed with us for 2, weeks but we just couldn't manage. I even brought him to my office but since he was a pup he used to eat everything that came in sight so had to lock the door (with me inside) he used to get frustrated and used to start chewing the cushion covers.

So 2 times had to leave early just because of him.

So make sure you have atleast one member with the puppy at all times.

Also , every breed has different characteristics. I searched a lot on the web about taking care , do's and don'ts. And came to know about this.

Some are lazy :p some are energetic and needs proper walks, maybe extra like beagle. So i'll say you should also search a little bit. You do for the car , why not for a puppy who will stay with your family for 12 or more years [:)]

We had two dogs in our home, one passed away gracefully due to age 6 months back. The other a country dog is still with us. Before this two we had two Dobermanns earlier, one passed away due to age, the other died after eating a Rat.

So Pet dog is not new thing. Someone will be always there in the home.

For us Dog is more of a having one more 'Don't care' member in the family. Proper vaccination, Proper diet, proper and frequent care will be there as it has happened for all the existing previous dogs. Like any other family member the dog can live with us. That is why I asked no nonsense Dog. Indian breed Kanni, The Dobermann are these kind of dogs.

I am pushing for Kanni Family is for Dobermann. Mostly Dobermann, you know our voice value in the family right [:D]. Today they are visiting some pet shops. I raised this here in TAI to get better insight and suggestions.

Buddies,

Here's Knight, my stray pal! Always sleeps at night in my home, has breakfast in the morning and leaves for his daily routine! We provide him his warm jacket and he comes back at 6-6:30 in evening!

Also, accompanies him is his new friend Reisha, she likes to be clicked at any time!

Re: TAI Member Pet's Help and Discussions!

I have a 3 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft aquarium. What ever fish I put, angel or goldfish, they do not grow that much. Water in our locality is quite clean with no iron or chlorine, but still not able to found what might be the solution ??

You need to change water every 15 days like 30% , fish have some kind of sweat secretion and these collide and they dont grow,this is to prevent them from becoming big in a confined space. try 20% water change weekly otherwise. Try getting those flower horn food which give growth if they are willing to eat,try taking a sample & feeding them first,if they eat it them buy the packet.
