Dealing with Blue-Green Algae your Guppy Tank There are many different potential problems that you are going to be dealing with when it comes to your guppy aquarium. Most of these problems are minor and can be kept under control. One such problem is blue-green algae but a particular one that can be potentially serious is cyanobacteria.   This is sometimes called slime algae or smear algae. Most often the color is blue/green but it may also appear as brown or black or red.   There will be no mistaking that you are dealing with cyanobacteria as it tends to get out a hand very quickly and as it grows it covers all of the inner parts of the aquarium with super speed. When you disturb it in any way it seems to come off in layers or as sheets.   You will find that a very unpleasant odor is coming from the fish tank and this is the cause of it.

Havana Brown History The Havana Brown is a solid chocolate brown hybrid cat that originated in England in the early 1950s. Some historians think that solid brown (self brown) cats may have come to England from Thailand in the late 1880s as “brown Siamese-type cats” were seen in Europe and England until the late 1920s. The cats were exhibited under various names including “Swiss Mountain Cat” and “Brown Cat”. By 1930, the Siamese Cat Club of Britain discouraged breeding any non-blue-eyed Siamese and the breed completely disappeared. There is no documentation or evidence to support any claim that these brown cats were Havana Browns. However, in the early 1950s, a group of British breeders tried to produce a solid brown cat in the chocolate point coloring of the Siamese. They crossed Siamese, domestic short-hairs and Russian Blues. These breedings were documented and recorded and every Havana Brown today can be traced back to the early 1950s when the hybrid breed was officially created.

Cardiomyopathy in Cats | How to Treat CardiomyopathyCardiomyopathy in Cats | How to Treat Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy in Cats There are two forms of cardiomyopathy in cats : Dilated (the heart wall becomes thin) and hypertrophic (the heart wall thickens). The former has recently been linked to some cats’ need for larger amounts of taurine (an amino acid) or inefficient way of absorbing this nutrient from the gastrointestinal tract. The heart-muscle changes have been reversed by twice-daily giving 250 milligrams of taurine, which is available in health-food stores. The clinical signs of dilated cardiomyopathy in cats are lethargy, decreased appetite, and breathing difficulties. The cat with the hypertrophic form may display fainting, seizures, coughing, breathing difficulties, lethargy, or stroke-like signs – the inability to move the back legs, for example. An echocardiogram (ultrasound) is the best procedure for diagnosing and differentiating the cardiomyopathies, because an electrocardiogram may appear normal. All cats over seven years of age should be checked for hyperthyroidism. To help prevent the dilated form always use a well-known cat food that is supplemented with taurine.

Best about Cat Nutrition | What is the Right Food for Cat ?Best about Cat Nutrition | What is the Right Food for Cat ?

Information about Cat Nutrition What is good nutrition, and why is it so important? Nutrition is the process of using or transforming food into living tissue. Cat nutrition is very important for a cat because the poor health of a cat may lead to serious diseases and may lead to respiratory problems as well.   If not provided a complete and balanced diet, your cat will not grow properly, reproduce, maintain the health of all its body tissues, or fight infection. Your cat’s hunt for a complete and balanced daily food intake is now easier than its ancestor’s hunt for thousands of years ago; thanks to commercial pet foods as they provide a complete healthy diet for a cat. The sound of the can opener or the jumbling of the dry food in the box will awaken the beast inside your cat – it will run from the comfy carpet near the fire-place to the kitchen to devour its neatly packaged and completely nutritious “prey”.

Best Information About Plastic Plants | Common FactorBest Information About Plastic Plants | Common Factor

Plastic Plants: The Least Common Factor   When Benjamin Franklin said, “The least common thing is common sense,” he must have been referring to his aquarium landscape plastic plants.     As bio-wheel filtration has prevailed and conventional wisdom has leaned toward a lesser and lesser substrate (bottom gravel) the manufacturers of plastic aquarium plants continue to produce plants that are not well adapted to current trends.   As home aquarium-keeping is currently so vast and growing one can only wonder at the thinking of those suppliers. To their credit, the best producers of plastic plants are achieving some very realistic approximations, but that is not the main problem.   In defense of the use of plastic plants I can only say this: After extensive research and a lot of eco-system problems in my own tanks – attempting in vain to maintain the most perfectly balanced aquarium environments I could, I have decided that live plants were not the best solution.

It is a syndrome in which the heart and blood vessels are unable to deliver the nutrients and oxygen to the cells and are equally unable to remove the cells’ toxic waste products. If not treated promptly, the shock process may be impossible to reverse and your cat can die.     The major signs of cat shock are: Pale or muddy gums. A weak and rapid pulse. Capillary refilling takes longer than two seconds. Rapid breathing (over forty breaths per minute). A low rectal temperature (below 100°F), with skin and legs cool to the touch. cat Shock requires prompt veterinary attention.
