A : As the Flower Horn is from the South American Cichlid family, the fish are very territorial. Thus, they are very aggressive in nature. Keeping them with other fish is not advisable, especially smaller fish.

Most perennials won't be truly outstanding until their second year. They will be too busy growing their first year to flower at their fullest. As a rule of thumb though: Fall flowering varieties will almost reach full size, and put on a nice show their first year. Mums will reach full size and full flower their first year.

A : Flower Horns do well in all types of clean water. This fish is very hardy, and can endure water conditions that are not suitable for most breeds of aquarium fish. This is also part of the reason why the Flower Horn is well received by many tropical fish hobbyists. But the ideal pH level in the water should be around pH 7 to 7.8, with water temperature ranging between 27 °C to 32°C. For temperate/colder climate regions, just use a conventional water heater.

You are encouraged to feed them with life prawns and life fish. They may grow faster and improve colour. However, Flower Horns are not overly picky with food but their consumption is high. Worms, small shrimps and pellet fish food will do fine as long as these foods do not pollute the water. You can underfeed but not overfeed Flower Horns, thus it is advisable to space out feeding times to two to three times daily.

Flower Horns may grow up to approximately12 inches in length depending on the breed although there are Flower Horns known to grown to nearly 16 inches. Properly taken care of, Flower Horns can generally live for eight to ten years.

Susie, the first Scottish Fold cat, was discovered in 1961 in the Tayside Region of Scotland, at a farm near Coupar Angus. She was a white barn cat with ears that folded downward and forward on her head. Her face resembled an "owl" or an "otter's face". A shepherd by the name of William Ross first noticed Susie's unique ears at a neighbor's barn. Since William and his wife Mary were Cat Fanciers they were fascinated with Susie.

Aquariums should be moved without water in them. We also recommend removing gravel and decorations. Damages caused from moving an aquarium are not covered under the warranty.

Yes. There are several species of particularly bad mosquitoes that breed in these and other water containers around the house. These mosquitoes are bad in terms of being able to transmit diseases and their biting habits.

First, knowledge is power. If you are trying to breed a particular fish, consult a good reference book, a knowledgeable pet shop or a local aquarium society-- like GCCA!. Many fish have very specific requirements; others will breed at the drop of a hat, under the most adverse conditions. Provide suitable habitat; large enough with appropriate type spawning sites for the type of fish being kept Start out with more that a pair.

The Spanish brought Andalusians (with Spanish/North African Barb blood) and the Spanish Jennet (a smooth-gaited riding horse of the old world) and carefully blended these in Peru to create the Peruvian Paso Horse-designated a "National Treasure" in Peru.

Color: "Every color you have ever seen, and a few you haven't." Solid colors prevail. Bay, chestnut, gray, roan, palomino, black, etc. (Rarely pintos, no appaloosas.) Appearance: Large eyes, long mane and tail, good solid body, strong, yet refined legs, high headset (proud) when in action, rounded croup and low tail set. Termino": The natural showy outward rolling of the front limbs when the horse is moving foreword. Pasos are born with this characteristic.

Another place to find information about Scottish Folds and breeders is to contact the International Scottish Fold Association. This is a CFA (Cat Fanciers Association) affiliated breed club. If you send a #10 SASE to ISFA, 12500 Skyline Dr., Burnsville, MN, 55337-2920, they will send you information on the breed itself and a list of member breeders.

There is a great deal of responsibility involved in breeding a dog. Hopefully, it is not just something that happens', but is preceded by a great deal of research and veterinary testing.

The official and correct name of the breed is "Randall". This is the only name used by the Registry since its inception. History: Since the rescue of the Randalls from the Randall farm in 1985, and the re-rescue by Cynthia Creech in 1987, several names have been applied to the cattle, "Randall Lineback", "Randall Blue", "Randall Blue Lineback", and "Randall".

TICA has recognized the Bengal, and there are many Champion Bengals. Our Breeding program has Bengals of champion blood. Only recently, the summer of 1997, has ACFA once again allowed Bengals show status. Years back some unscrupulous breeders passed off foundation cats as Bengals. At one of CFA's shows a foundation cat was unruly and Bengals were yanked from the shows. Everyone paid the price, and only now has the wrong been righted.

Well in some ways it can be in any non-toxic container that can hold water, but some things just work better than others. I prefer glass tanks. But I'm old fashioned. Most of my tanks are the plain old rectangular glass fish tanks. There are a lot of fancy new tanks with bowed fronts and different shapes. Most tanks are pretty well suited to do the job. Extra tall tanks should usually be avoided but they can be used sometimes if the extra height is taken into consideration.

No. Both male & females have horns but when they are calves, most of the time the horns are removed so the cows don't hurt anyone or each other.
