Re: what other pets do you have?

You just use pure ammonia to get it to cycle, rather than actual fish making ammonia. It's a lot safer for the fish. =) You can also add things from other, already-cycled tanks, such as filter media or dripping, gravel, ect.

I have:
7 cats (well, six. One of the seven is my sister's.)
3 cockatiels
2 betta fish (male and female) in a divided ten gallon tank
1 male dwarf gourami in a 2.5 gallon tank (quarantine ONLY, VERY TEMPORARY!)

Mostly chemicals, and we put some rocks from an already cycled tank in the filter

Re: what other pets do you have?

Nice pic of your quaker! I wish my parrot could fly sometimes. But then, it is convenient that she/he can't sometimes too. Either ay, nice timing!

Re: what other pets do you have?

OK, I have a zoo:
3 dogs---Penny, a female Border Collie (?) mix about 5 years old; Toby, a male Golden/GSD (?) mix about 7-8 years old; and Moose, a male purebred Rott about 5 years old.
8 cats---Scotty, Dusty, Scrappy, Sammy (males), and Silka, Bitsy, Dakota, and June (females), Scotty and Dakota are about 8 years old, the others are about 5 years old, except for June, who is about 4 months old
2 ferrets---Pogo (male) and Bumper (female), about 6 years old
2 rabbits---Clover and Pansy (both female), about 2 years old
1 female mouse (unnamed)
4 Russian Tortoises (3 females, 1 male) (unnamed)
40-ish hermit crabs (unnamed except for the largest, Eduardo)
2 Tiger Salamanders (unnamed)
3 fancy goldfish in a 55g tank
1 male Betta, 4 cory catfish, and some small snails in a 12g tank
All mammals are spayed/neutered, except for Pansy (hard to find a good rabbit vet) and June (spay appointment in 2 weeks). Oh, and the mouse. I don't think that's safe .

Re: what other pets do you have?

Got some new pets recently, and plan to get a few more today...Two of the cats are mine, the tiels are mine, all of the fish and frogs are mine. The other cats and budgies are my parents'.

~7 cats: Sassy, Sophie, Kiara, Abby, Bellona, Newbie, Stratus. Ages ranging from 11 years old to a year and three months old. Sassy and Stratus are "mine". Newbie is my sister's, but we're keeping her for the year.
~3 cockatiels: Amante, Ky, Chloe
~2 budgies: Sky and Sunny, males. (also my parents')
~2 betta fish, sharing a divided 10 gallon tank: Rosette (female combtail) and Banana (male halfmoon)
~2 african dwarf frogs, yet unnamed until I can figure out who is who
~1 dwarf gourami: Rami (male)
~1 peppered cory catfish: unnamed (buying more today, and I'll name them all when I can tell them apart. ;D)

Just cuious how you pronounce Kiara?

When naming my daughter we considered both Kiera (hubby's fav) and Kiara pronounced Key-Arah which was my top pick but we eventually landed on Zoe. Just curious how you pronounce Kiara, is it the same? I have never heard anyone else use it that way before but I love it.

Yup, said the same. We actually named her after the daughter or Simba, in the Lion King 2. My niece named her. =P

Re: what other pets do you have?

I just bought three more catfish and another betta a few days ago. Bettas name is Asura. She's really cute and naughty (is eating all the food she can get her grubby little fins on).

Re: what other pets do you have?

Besides my dogs, Max and Abby, we have 2 birds. Mikey, who is 7, is a Cockatiel. Bird-Daisy(my son, at the time, wanted to name her, "bird". I, on the other hand, wanted to name her, "daisy". So, we combined!), is 9, and she is a Love Bird. They are the lights of my life~I'd be lost without them!
