Google is your friend.
Feel free to ask questions but know that there are a lot of resources out there that could answer your question a lot faster and accurately than /an/.
Make sure to include these things in your post before asking because we can't help you if we don't have the full picture:
-tank size (include dimensions, not just volume)
-parameters (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, pH, GH, KH)
-any and all inhabitants + how long you've had them

Looks pretty hideous but I set up my first fish tank. It's 5 gallons and I plan on putting a Betta in it. I dosed it with some chemical that supposed to kick start the cycle. About how long should I wait before going out and getting a Betta to put in?

What should I buy for it?
Decorations, gravel, plants, filters, and other stuff to maintain it.
Also, I'm planning to put some corys in there, which fishes could be nice neighbors?

This is a decently slow board, so you don't need to bump very often.
I would ditch the fish and get an Axolotl. Way more interactive, and they live longer too.
A 63 gallon could house three very comfortably, or one gigantic specimen.

Did you know that the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is one of the fastest dinosaurs of all time? Reaching speeds of over 200 miles per hour while diving in on prey this feathery predator is at home in both wild open fields and atop busy city scapes!
The peregrine falcon has pointed long wings making it a heavy wing loading, and rapid wingbeats yet provide an energetically expensive high speed.

I'm getting a 4 Month old Border Collie Puppy next week.
I'm planning on chew and potty training him right away, obviously. But most of the things I've read are for 2 month old puppies or so.
What do you think are the most important things to consider about a 4 month old pup compared to a 2 month old one?

Does he have any earlier training? If not, treat him like a two month old. You have to be real adamant about being consistent with training a border collie too because they can turn psycho otherwise. Give him a job, they're an incredibly smart breed just need to direct the energy into stuff. Start teaching him simple tricks so he learns to be obedient and willing and eager to please you
>>
>>2464433
No training, no.
He was just left to be himself with his parents and other dogs from the breeder since the siblings were sold a month ago or so.
I've read a lot about BC and I'm planning on training him a lot and taking him for hourly walks before and after work everyday. Thanks.

I forgot the exercise time to age conversion for puppies. I think it's 5 minutes for every month (so 4 month old = 20 minute walks). Hopefully someonr else can confirm, but Don't over exercise your dogger.

When you agree to get a dog, you also agree to watch it die when its time comes a few years later.
All dogs are temporary pets.

So these people claim this husky mix is a wolf hybrid. I initially thought they were full of shit, but I noticed a bunch of things.
>wiry fur, not soft like a husky
>mannerisms are really aggressive when playing, not resembling a 5 month old puppy
>always bullied by other dogs; all the dogs, including puppies, constantly team up on it
>have seen like 10 dogs of all different ages, breeds, and size chase down and bully this thing
>when not getting slapped around, it has really an aggressive, loud, hard playstyle
I'm not 100% convinced it's a wolf pup, but even my golden retriever seems to act different with it than other dogs, and he's 100% love. I feel like it shouldn't be lawful to take them to a dog park if other dogs, or them, are at serious risk... right?
It's also 5 month old and more the size of a husky
Also, some crackhead used to bring his red wolves (I think), 3 of them, to the dog park before they got in a fight with a pitbull and cane corso which ended in basically all 3 needing some level of medical attention. They look similar in the face to this thing.
