Answer to:
If I have a 10 gallon tank, and I want to get tropical fish, do I still need a 10 gallon heater if the lights above it are heating the water too almost the appropriate temperature? Would a 5 gallon heater do? For a ten gallon tank you should get a 50 watt heater with a thermostat attached, unless the room is really cold in which case you will need a bigger one. You can't rely on the lights to heat the tank since you should be switching them off at night, plus they won't switch off when the tank gets to the correct temperature like a heater with a thermostat will. This chart shows you...

I have always found women hot, but recently I have found myself sexuallty attracted to gay porn. Is this normal? Yeah, it is pretty normal for teenagers to sometimes have homosexual fantasies but it doesn't mean you are gay. If you are curious and you want to watch gay porn, go ahead, satisfy your curiosity. I hate to sound patronising but you will probably grow out of it because all the raging hormones you have when you are a teenager make you do funny things sometimes! So it's really nothing...

Is it common for two "straight" guys to have sexual encounters with each other? Sure, it's called experimentation!

My goldfish lies upside down on its head at the bottom of the tank. If I feed it (or knock on the wall), it becomes active again and swims normally. Is it sleeping? It sounds like a swimbladder problem to me too, you can get over-the-counter medication for this at most pet stores. It can be caused by a number of things, the main cause is an internal bacterial infection which can be cleared up by meds, but if your goldfish is a fancy goldfish (ie has double fins and a slightly compressed body) it could be genetic. Try the meds, also try expanding the...

Not telling people stuff isn't lying, sometimes it is more polite to just not say anything. If it is important stuff he is keeping from you, I would be more upset then, but cut him some slack as he was trying to keep you from getting upset so he had good intentions.

All you have to do is wear goth clothing, listen to goth music and hang around with other goths. Goth is not a private members club or a secret society, it does not have an entrance exam or an initiation ceremony, it's just a style of clothing and music.

I would wait and see if you get your period, then get a pregnancy test if you are late.

You should never flush fish down the toilet anyway (dead or alive) because there is a risk of spreading diseases to native fish.

IF SOME ONE BELIEVES THAY FOUND OR KNOW WHERE NOHA'S ARK IS WHY CANT WE EXPLORE IT Well, the latest theory is that the remains of the ark are up Mount Salaban in Iran and as you can see from this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah%27s_Ark#The_search_for_Noah.27s_Ark it is 13,000 feet up, which probably explains the lack of visitor's centre and gift shop.

Answer to:
If I have goldfish in a ten gallon tank, and they're very healthy, would it not be a good idea to put them into a pond? Just a plain, natural pond with no chemicals? Well 10 gallons is not enough for 2 full grown goldfish. They need at least 10 gallons per fish to be healthy long term. Personally I think single tail goldfish (common, shubunkins and comets) are better off in a pond anyway as they can grow to a foot long so often ended up stunted in aquaria. If you have a natural pond that is BIG, then I would say yes. Crucian carp (goldfish's wild...

There is always the possibility that he can see his reflection in the glass and that is why...

Normally my fiance would not be hungry on her period. She never started bleeding this early. It started as spotting (little bit) today it was heavy.

The only way to tell if she is pregnant (which I'm guessing is what you want to know, you didn't actually ask anything though) is for her to take a pregnancy test, either a store bought one or one from a doctor.

But I think you should discuss it with your mum because it would be upsetting for both of you if you just plan it all without talking to her about it. Plus, moving out of home and going to college is a big deal so you could really use your mum's support (financial or otherwise)

Are maggots good for fish? I feed my goldfish rat tailed maggots as a treat every so often (maybe once a month) but as they are quite high in protein, it is inadvisable to feed them to fish a lot as they can pollute the water quickly. Best to do as Oregon suggested and stick to insects like mosquito larva or bloodworms as these are a more natural diet for most fish.

I tend to say 'Queen ARE great' because most people do in this country and I find it awkward saying 'Queen IS great' for some reason...

My black moor goldfish sits at the top of the tank with his tail bent and head down. He doesn't swim around much. When food is put in, then he moves for that. I noticed where the tail is bent, it looks white. He is all black. Any suggestions? Well black goldfish do have a tendency to lose their black but they usually go red/orange first before white. This could be finrot but without knowing more about the symptoms I can't say for sure. Finrot looks like a white fuzzy bit on the edge of the fins, and as you can tell by the name, it causes the fin to rot. This can easily be cured by treatments available at most pet stores, but you...

Can I use baking soda to raise the alkalinity in my swimming pool? Well I don't know much about swimming pools but I know a bit about water chemistry so here goes- Changing the pH of water using baking soda depends on how water is buffered. Buffering is the ability of water to withstand pH changes. For example, if water has a high buffering capacity, you will have to add more baking soda to alter the pH than you would if the water had a low buffering...

Why do people cut the tails off of some breeds of dogs? Mostly for aesthetic reasons nowadays. Tail docking originally started in hunting and fighting dogs.

Tail docking will soon become illegal in the UK, unless the dog is a working dog or needs it for medical reasons. Here's some...

Do I need to crank up the AC in my house to drop the aquarium temperature? As D4RK M4S73R said, the ideal temperature for goldfish is between 20-24C (fancy goldfish prefer the temperature closer to 24, single tail goldfish prefer it a little cooler).

My goldfish often seems like he is dead, at night and even during the day sometimes, he will float to the top of the tank and lay there for hours at a time. After a really long time, he will become active again. Is this normal? Nope, it can indicate a swim-bladder problem which is more than likely caused by poor water quality (chances are the tank is too small). It could be down to constipation so it's worth treating for that first- feed him a shelled de-frosted pea.

My great-aunt (80 odd) always says yes, despite the fact that she is a danger to other road users.

What country has the lowest age restrictions regarding alcohol? It depends what you mean- in the UK you have to be 18 to buy alcohol, but you can have 1 glass aged 16 if you are with your parents in a restaurant, and it is legal to give your child, provided they are over the age of 5, a small amount of alcohol at a private residence. Do you mean the age limit to buy alcohol or to drink it?

I might be having 3 bridesmaids, 2 are very small women and the third is plus size. Will I still be able to get them matching dresses? You can if you pick a style that will suit everyone. One popular way around this problem is to pick a colour and then let them choose their own style of dress. Or, you could give the third bridesmaid a wrap or shrug in the same colour as the dress if she feels self-concious in short sleeves or straps.

Watching porn will just give him a warped view of what sex is like, but the fact that he has filter-free internet access is very worrying. There are far worse things on the internet that a kid that age should not be looking at.

I found that citalopram worked for me but my friend got terrible side effects from it. The best thing to do is tell your friend to be honest with their doc and tell him/her if the drug is not working for them. They may have to try a few to find the right one, or they may find it right away. Good luck!

My 45 yr. old successful spouse thinks there is nothing wrong with him checking out young girls, in the car, restaurant& sometimes flirts & denies he does it. I feel selfconfident but his behavior feels disrespectful, am I wrong, what should I do? You're not wrong, you can't help the way you feel. Some people aren't bothered by flirting, others are. If you have told him how you feel about his behaviour and he still does it, that would concern me more than the flirting. I think you need to discuss this with him in some detail and make sure he really knows how his behaviour make you feel. If it helps, you could write down what you want...

What kinds of fish eat tadpoles? In a fish pond? All of them! Pond fish- goldfish, koi, orfe, etc- are omnivores and opportunist feeders. They will try to eat anything they can fit in their mouths. However, if the fish are very young, they may be too small to eat the tadpoles.

How effective are those "lose 10 lbs in 3 days if you eat exactly what we say" diets? I don't know about effective, but they are not that healthy. If you want to lose weight it is better to consult your GP or a nutritionist, or go on an approved program like Weightwatchers. Losing weight quickly is not healthy, unless you are at a weight that may threaten your health, but you should check this with your doctor. These 'lose weight quickly' plans often don't include enough food...

My boyfriend is 30 and I am 21 and he moves really fast. He is already talking about marriage, and our lives together and I don't know what to say. I tell him I need to go slow and sometimes I feel he wants the image of wife and kids, not me. Advice? If he's going too fast, you should tell him that you want to take it easy. Age gap relationships can work well (there are 12 years between me and my husband) as long as you both want the same things at the same time. As long as you tell him kindly and don't yell, it should be OK.

If you do a long work-out session, for example, you will lose weight in sweat. Make sure you are drinking 2 litres of water a day, more if you are working out a lot. If you are dieting, you should always try to weigh yourself at the same time every day to ensure an accurate idea of how much weight you are losing.

Here's a link for you that explains it better than I can! http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcArticles.nsf/pages/Depression_and_exercise?OpenDocument Also you could join an internet forum so you can talk to people that also have depression, it really helps when you realise that you're not alone.

Ever since I found out that I'm pregnant, I have dreams that my husband cheats on me and then leaves me. Does this mean anything? I wouldn't worry, it is just your subconcious playing out your worst fears. I think it is pretty common to have bad dreams when you are pregnant.

My scalp gets very greasy 2 days after washing, but the rest of the hair turns very dry. How can I get rid of the greasy scalp? Firstly you should stop using head & shoulders because it is actually very bad for your skin! My hairdresser told me never ever to use it. If you have a dandruff problem you can get proper medicated shampoo from a chemist/drug store, that should help with your skin problem.

What is the origin of the word "politics"? 'Poly' meaning many and 'ticks' meaning blood-sucking parasites. Nah, just kidding. 'Polis' is from the Greek meaning city or state, 'politikos' describes things concerning state or city affairs. In Latin, this was 'politicus' and in French 'politique'. Thus it became 'politics' in the English language.

Answer to:
Why do goldfish so often swim up and down against the front glass of an aquarium? Do they see their own reflections or are they trying to get out? You may notice they do it more when you are in the room- it's because they can see you and they know that they might get fed! Fish have pretty good eyesight and they soon learn to associate humans and food (my baby goldfish learnt that at 12 days old!) so they are saying 'feed me!!'

Answer to:
Is there anything wrong with using plastic or silk plants if they're made for an aquarium (and don't have sharp edges)? No, silk plants are sometimes better than real ones if you have plant-eaters or diggers (like goldfish or some cichlids) because the real ones would just get shredded and pollute the aquarium. Silk ones need replacing more often but I think they look better than the plastic ones. If you've got fish with long fins (fancy goldfish, bettas etc) watch their tails on the plastic plants.

What is the best thing to use for cleaning your fish aquarium? If there are fish in there you shouldn't use any cleaning products because they may be toxic to the fish. If you are cleaning out an empty aquarium you can use a weak bleach solution (1 part bleach, 10 parts water) or the stuff you use to sterilise baby bottles. Make sure you rinse it very thoroughly though.

Why is one of my goldfish always trying to jump out of the water and swim around the bowl really fast? I have only had them for 3 days. You should test the water for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.

Answer to:
why are my goldfish staying at the top of the bowl like they need air? and how often should i change the water on my 1 gallon bowl with four gold fish inside? It might be the hot weather, warmer water can't hold as much oxygen as cooler water. It doesn't help that you have 4 fish in 1 gallon when goldfish require 10 gallons per fish (yes, 10 gallons) Try to keep it cool, and get an airstone to help with oxygenating but unless you get a much bigger tank your fish will not live too long.

I set up a new fish tank with the filter in order, then bought two small goldfish the next day. Once I got the fish, the tank got really cloudy really quickly. Why is this, and how can I solve it? No, never use tap water in an aquarium! It contains chlorine which will kill all the good bacteria that live in your filter and make your fish really sick. The cloudiness is probably a bacteria bloom. This has happened because you did not cycle the tank before you added the fish. There are millions of bacteria in fish tanks that turn fish poo (ammonia) into less harmful substances (nitrite...

How can people with schizophrenia hear voices in their heads, and is being around a person suffering from this dangerous? I don't know the science behind it, but I can tell you that I have had 3 friends that are/were schizophrenic. 1 of them sadly killed himself a few years ago but the other 2 are leading normal lives and are no danger to anyone. I wouldn't even know they were schizophrenic if they hadn't told me. It can be dangerous if it is not treated properly but the drugs available to treat it are really...

Answer to:
Why do the British drive on the right side and many other nationalities including Americans drive on the left side of the road? How did these two different systems develop? I'm not sure if this is totally historically accurate but I will tell you what I read in a newspaper once. The reason for countries driving on different sides of the road is Napolean. In Roman times, people would drive their chariots on the left hand side of the road so that if they met an enemy coming the other way, they would have their sword hand (right hand) ready. All European countries...

Answer to:
I had sex and the condom broke. We didn't know that it broke till we were done. What are the chances that I'm pregnant? The chances of getting pregnant are around 1 in 4-5 if you have unprotected sex while you are ovulating and you are both fertile. Calculating the chances that an individual is pregnant is impossible without knowing your and your boyfriend's fertility history, having a medical degree and being psychic. I would wait, see if your period is late and then get a pregnancy test if necessary.

Is the urban legend about Richard Gere and his fondness for gerbils really true?

The Bible says Gabriel (Angel) was sent to Mary in June, nevertheless we still celebrate the birth of Jesus in December. Can one bear a baby after 6 months of pregnancy?

What would be some reasons for wanting to legalize marijuana? Cannabis was decriminalised in the UK because too much police time was spent busting 16 year olds for smoking a joint when they could have been catching proper criminals. I'm surprised it hasn't been totally legalised here, the government loves to come up with new ways to tax people.

My boyfriend claims to be a nymph and of an opinion that this cant be cured at the same time he is overposessive about me.m finding myself in a difficult situation as i love him but m sick and tired of his suspicions.sud i put an end to this relationship? Well if you are not happy, you should talk to him and tell him that his possessiveness is causing problems. Try to work things through first, but if nothing changes and you are still unhappy you should end the relationship.

Answer to:
Is it possible to kill an abortionist and be a real Christian? No, definitely not. It clearly states in the Bible 'Thou shalt not kill'. Although the Bible also tells us to stone people to death for a multitude of sins including adultery and theft, the 10 commandments pretty much outweigh that in my opinion. If it said 'Thou shalt not kill unless they are an abortion doctor' you'd be in the clear, but it doesn't.

A dance studio contracted with a vendor to video my child's recital and sell copies for a profit. They say I can't videotape my child, but I never signed a release allowing them to use images of my daughter. What's the law here? I work with children in the UK and we are not allowed to take pictures of the children without their parents written consent. At school plays and that sort of thing, anyone wishing to film the performance needs permission from the school even if they are parents and the film is for their private use. I would speak to the owner of the dance school about this as really they shouldn't be filming...

Answer to:
The water in my tank is cleaned once a week, but the water turns from crystal clear to a brownish colour. I do not have any real plants in the tank and have the filtration on all the time. What could be wrong? It sounds like it could be an algae bloom. Check the nitrate level of the water. Low light levels can contribute to brown algae, around 8-10 hours of light per day is about right. You can also get 'moss balls' which are really balls of algae to put in your tank. This should help prevent algae in the water and on the glass but your cichlids might shred them, depending on what sort they are.

I may have ripped my goldfish's tail off while I was removing gravel from his tank! Can he go on to live a full life without his tail? It'll grow back, although it will take a while.

My goldfish's tail is bent towards the surface. It looks like a V between his top fin and his tail fin. Also his bottom fin is getting smaller and smaller. His bottom fin started as a nick and then each day has been getting worse. What's wrong? If he shows any signs of disease ie fungus, visible parasites, lethargy, gasping for breath or scratching (flashing) I would do some research and find out what is wrong and then treat it ASAP. If he is a young fish, my first thought would be it is just a deformity. If he can swim and feed OK then leave him but if he is struggling it might be better to put him down (NOT in the freezer!!!) ...

My Christian flatmate tells me that I will go to hell because I don't believe in Jesus. She also said my relatives are burning and being tortured in hell as non-believers.

My mum is a fairly strict Christian that believes you go to Heaven if you're a good person. I consider myself to be Christian but I don't believe in Hell at all, neither does my dad who is also Christian. I had this argument with someone recently who passionately believed that anyone who did not believe in Jesus...

It's worth a try I guess!
