But seriously though I'm considering getting live plants for my RES. Anyone here have experience with that? I have no idea what kind of substrate to get. Are there "meme substrates" to avoid?

Please keep repeat pictures to a minimum. Also, no "humans are animals" or other joke pics. This is not a thread for reaction faces. Just post beautiful animals!
I think cougars are maybe the most beautiful of the big cats. Of course, you have to weed out pictures of Sharon Stone looking for them on the internet. What do you guys think is the most beautiful cat?
>Mother of two killed by her dog in Perquimans County
https://archive.is/GSRb5
[Suzanne] Story's family told 13News Now she got the Pit Bull from Virginia about a week ago after she saw an advertisement in a newspaper. The ad said the dog was good with small children.
"I think they had a problem with the dog and didn't know how to handle it, and they were just trying to get rid of it, and they did," said Story's stepfather, Randy Brown. "Found somebody that would take it, and ended up with a death."

Never trust a dog
Hear stories all the time about beloved family dogs attacking and killing a toddler
>>2061451
I read somewhere that close to 70% attacks are on children, which makes sense. the vast majority of children don't know how to respectfully play with dogs, and the parents don't watch them. hell, even a lot of parents don't know
So, /an/, what kind of dog do you have, and why isn't it a god teir rottweiler?
Fuck me, why do they always come out sideways?

You posting from your phone? Because I am. For some reason, it always does that from phones.
Anyway, this is my dog. He's a lab mixed with some sort of hound.

What's the bare minimum components required for pressurized c02 dosing, not including diy.
Is a reactor required or can it be pumped straight to the tank?
>>2064963
A decent regulator, needle valve, full sized CO2 tank, solenoid (recommended if you don't want to manually shut off your CO2 at night), and a method of injection into your tank.
A reactor is recommended due to the higher saturation rate but you can use a ceramic CO2 disk to inject CO2 into your water if you have a smaller tank.
>>2064969
I've got a 55g but I have 2 powerhead and a large hob moving water at roughly 1480gph, I read something about running it through a powerhead or filter intake to increase saturation?
Wtf is this nigga
Looks like some kind of potoo
It's a nightjar of some sort. they all look at least that stupid.
That looks like an alien with a earth bird fursona.
If you saw a cryptid one day, what would you do? Leave it, kill it?

PROTIP: Out of that list only sasquatch, skunk apes, chupacabra, and MAYBE a couple lake things exist.
Jersey devils and wendigos are extinct.
>>2053396
which one is the skunk ape?
also, how many of these extinctions were caused by outdoor cats?
Are crates really necessary for dogs? A lot of people that I've spoken to say that it helps with their denning instincts, and that you're supposed to crate a dog while you're out, but I crate mine while he's sleeping at night and let him roam around during the day. He does pretty well right now and it looks like he just sleeps a lot anyways.
>>2065776
Honestly, it's very much an American thing. No one I know in Aus ever uses one. I leave my dog to roam the house while i'm gone and he just sleeps or plays with his toys.
If your dog is not a destructive shit, don't bother.
>>2065782
It's a useful tool. I trained my dog to go in it every night and now he puts himself to bed by 10PM and whenever he gets tired. Also it's nice because he doesn't want to sleep on my bed :^)
also when people come over if he's too excitable it's good form to put him in his crate in a room that's ajar so he knows they're coming to visit you and not him. Really annoying to have guests act like retards around a dog you're trying to train, this stops the issue real quick
Is getting a cat declawed ACTUALLY painful or is it just bullshit that fuckwits spew because whatever? Can't you put a cat to sleep through getting it declawed?
My cat won't stop clawing shit. Including my fucking walls which my landlord despises. I mean I hate it so fucking much, but it gets my landlord on my back every now and then.
I can shove her away from walls and the cat will go right back to where I took it away from and start fucking scratching it again no matter how mad they see me get over it.
I can tuck my shoelaces INTO my shoes and...

It isn't during the surgery it is after. The recovery is horrendous and it isn't simply removing the claw, but removing the front part of the digit all the way to the first knuckle. Cats bear a lot of weight on the ball and toe parts of their feet.
Do you provide your cat anything to scratch in the house at all? My cat has 3 proper locations to scratch in my less than 700 sq ft apartment.
Also, if your cats claws are sharp enough to claw the goddamn walls, they need to be clipped! I clip my cats front claws every 2-3 weeks and the back ones once a month....

Declawing removes the entire front part of the toes, and it can leave your cat neurologically fucked up. Its extremely painful recovery.
If you even consider declawing, just find a better home for your cat. Its gonna do cat things. Dont literally mutilate it to make yourself feel better.
>>2064668
That's the thing! Even when I do clip them (which is once EVERY WEEK) they still go right back to the fucking walls. Again, EVEN AFTER I've just clipped them. It's seriously fucking nuts.
How does /an/ feel about pet pigs?
>>2064209
They're kinda neat, but I don't understand the appeal
Cool.
>>2064223
there are people on this board who own spiders, snakes, and fish. Pigs may look ugly but at least you can pet them.
