Tropical fish tanks
Tropical fish tanks can be smaller than their salt water cousins. The advantage of being able to start small means you can gradually build up to bigger tanks and relegate the smaller fish tanks as a quarantine fish area to put any new fish you would want to introduce. However, for impact and
just plain stupefying effect, there's nothing like a big fish tank to take your
breath away.

Tropical fish are well...tropical, so they do fare better when they are kept within 'tropical' water temperatures. So give your tropical fish a bit of thought and consider heating if you live in temperate regions where the temperatures fall below zero in winter. Putting a tropical fish tank right up near a window isn't advisable - the temperature will fluctuate wildly and not to mention the algal growth on the sides of the tank that you'd be encouraging.
Site the fish tank away from 'running' traffic - kids will run and they will bump into things. Also consider the fact that having spills and drips won't go well with carpet - tiled areas make it a lot easier to do water changes - especially if you are planning to do the water changes in situ.

Dog with wet patches in bed after sleeping
Our dog (6yo female neutered Lab mix) Daisy will sleep in our bed sometimes for a little while and then she will sleep in her crate or around the house. For the last two nights we have had thunder so she slept with us the whole night. We noticed this morning that she was cleaning herself in her back section a lot and then noticed that she had been laying in a big wet spot. This wet spot was cold and moist and soaked through a comforter, another blanket, top sheet, onto the regular sheet. On the bottom sheet it was in the shape of three circles. It didn't smell and she layed there without a problem. Do you think it was urine? If so why would she be laying in it? We also have a 5 week old baby and want to know if this could stem from that? We have noticed several other times way before the baby moist smaller moist spots on our bed, chair, or carpet where she had cleaned herself. Is this normal and how can we help our dog? We want to make sure she is not sick. We appreciate your response because we can not talk to our vet until tomorrow. Thank you!! - Click
