Sorry if I lumped you in with the rest. Like I said, I've seen that anon post before, and he seems to genuinely care about his fish, and is seeking solid advice. But (before now) every time he has posted he just gets shit on.
It's not like he went out and impulse bought a shit ton of fish. He simply had a kneejerk reaction to seeing a fish about to get flushed down the toilet. Would any of us have responded differently if we were in his shoes?
Considering how he randomly...

The best advice he can get is the advice he's been getting: remove the goldfish. Some are ruder than others, sure, but it comes from a good-ish place. No one wants to see his fish suffer, ir disappear as the goldfish grow.
He could probably get a cheap 30-50 gal on Craigslist for the goldfish.
Removed flag fish as soon as I saw my badis had a nipped fin
I've decided to restock the tank at this point. I'll only keep the badis.
Any ideas for suitable fish? 6 gallon spec
First time posting here, sorry if I am expected to have been lurking for a while. I just really don't know how to handle my current situation.

Just how underage are you?
>>2142571
I'm 24. I know I sound like a desperate cuck but honestly she's the best i've ever done, i don't want her to break up with me over killing her rat.
>someones pet gets in a wall
>onstead of opening things up and getting it, you suggest killing it
How autistic and lazy are you?
Do pandas deserve it?
pandas were a mistake
pandas are the hutchinson-gilford progeria of the animal kingdom.
No, we should stop wasting our efforts. We should save animals that we are directly diminishing.
My cats eye (the one in the picture) has looked like this for the past couple of days, I've been washing it with a wet washcloth but it seems to put him in pain when I touch it. I really need some advice or input as to what it might be. The soonest I can take him to the Vet is July 1st :(
I would really appreciate anyone who knows what it could possibly be.
Sweet bait
go to a different vet that can get you in
you're clearly irritating your cat's eye more. it's likely a bacterial infection and won't clear up without antibiotics. it'll fester and if you wait until July 1st you'll end up going for surgery, not for med dispensal.

This.
I have a local vet office that is open 24/7, welcomes walk-ins, and charges no emergency fee. There is probably somewhere near you that is similar.
Wat do?
I think this bird fell out of its nest and got hurt. When I found it, it wasn't moving and it had pink stuff under it's wing so I think I was bleeding. I found the cardboard box in a nearby dumpster, so I could carry it to work with me. So far I've given it a few pieces of s doughnut I had, and once I get to work I'll give it some water.
Is there anything I can do to make it more comfortable? I won't be able to feed it bird seed until I get back home in a few hours so all I can think to feed it are lunch scraps. Is there something it absolutely shouldn't eat?
No grapes, no avocado, no blueberries I think?
But yes to berries and other fruits. Mix them in with the seed. Not too much, but a good portion is good for their nutrition. They need variety just like us.
Veggies and nuts too
I wouldn't recommend donuts again.
>>2147901
Is the donut gonna be super bad for it? I made sure I only pulled out the inside so the bird hasn't eaten any glaze
Anyone know what might cause pic related? Really starting to freak out, not sure if I should go to the vet or what.
What are you going on about? It just looks like your standard cat.
>>2147741
It's terminal, OP.
Say goodbye to your dog.
Cat genes include indifference.
Does anyone know where i can buy a pvc cage for a grown bearded dragon? Ive seen on the /herp/ thread that they recommend those kinds of cages but idk where to buy one
hopefully another anon can tell me if im right or wrong but a quick google search showed a site called pvccages . com. an anyone confirm whether this is a good site? it seems there only for snakes
Why don't you get your own made? There will be people around your town who will be able to do it.
>>2147653
how do i do that? Do they sell the material to make one?
So I need help determining this rabbits gender because I am thinking about getting it a companion and I need to know if its a boy or girl. Dont want it to have babies with the other rabbit also it helps me learn more about it. I tried getting help from the advice thread but all i got was negative comments, literally all of them negative. Heres the picture of what its genetalia looks like? I was called a sick fuck for taking a picture of it but its only for research. Ill delete this if i get negatives.
You sick fuck
Rub it. If it gets hard its a boy. If it gets wet its a girl.
Pretty sure it's female, I don't see balls above it's privates.....my females were always bitches that attacked the other one, so have another cage off to the side somewhere in case things go south
Hey,
I found this one in my wood storage and I am worried it will spread and will be a nuisance before winter.
Every time I walk by the wood I see some.
More shots of it from different angles
Wut.

Does anybody know what breed my cat is?
No papers, no breed.
It took me too long to figure out whether this picture was taken looking up the stairs or down them

Another old pic
Can i get an ID on this little guy? The top seems a bit spiky, it's about 1cm long, Eastern Poland.

Dis stupid guy @ my hood now. Who is?
Me iz afraid to touch it. He started shaking and stroking his head with hia tiny insect hands. Is he goin 2 die?
>>2146744
Well since you're spelling like a retard, I'll give you the appropriate response. It's a bluegills
So I was watching Planet Earth and David Attenborough said that all jellyfish sting. Is he just stupid or are these guys stinging phosphates?
>>2145658
All jellyfish sting in the same way that all spiders bite.
Some jellyfish stings are so lethal they will kill you. Just like some spider bites are so lethal they will kill you.
And then some jellyfish stings are so harmless to the human species that you don't even notice. The same way some spider bites are so harmless to the human species that when you wake up in the morning you think you just have a zit on your face, so you pop that sucker and go about your daily routines.
>>2145666
I've worked with anemones and know they can have varying stinging ranges (and you can feel them sticking to you cause of the stinging) but never with these type of jellies. What I've read say's they don't sting. So is Attenborough wrong?
>>2145676
As far as I'm aware, all jellies can sting. Just a lot of them can't do shit to a human, but they still are stinging you.
What's the all-around best snake in the hobby and why is it Boa constrictor?
>>2145487
I kinda agree with this. Boas make fantastic pets and have my favorite personality of all of the snakes commonly kept. Only drawback is their size. I mean you can try to track down one from a locale that typically stays medium size. Like a Nicaraguan male BCI would only be 5-6 feet normally.
>>2145524
Some locales max out around BP size or even smaller, I feel like it can make an excellent alternative to a ball python if you're willing to fork over some extra shekels. Hands-down my favorite commonly kept snake species regardless of locale/subspecies.
>>2145600
Speaking of shekels, the BP meme craze has gotten so ridiculous lately that BCIs i'm seeing from the good breeders in my area are cheapers than the BPs.
