Question
Hello,
Thank you for helping me out with the websites but can you tell me a website which delivers the books and collects the money when the product is delivered. By the way i did mean tropical freshwater hobbyist by TFH. I am willing to pay only by cash so.........
Right now nothing big is going on with my fishies except for some of the oscars in the 350 gallon tank. They have white spot. My corydoras cat in the catfish tank is the only surviver after the tank crash (the thugs). Though it did not get any wounds it has stopped eating and has become very dull and inactive. It has also lost all its color.Any suggestions? I have bought one more cory to give it company but there is no change.

Snuffy has given everyone in my house a bad impression due to her snappish behaviour. Though my grans did not object at all they are not happy with suffy's behaviour. Snuffy is very very affectionate but when someone wants to pat her head she nipps them and ther nips are painful as she is 3 1\2 months old. But she is very obedient with me and my sister. I am using a med called Rid to get rid of the ticks. Otherwise there is no problem. I am also teaching her not to bite.
 Karen, can you give me your email address so that i can straight away send mails instead of everytime coming into allexperts? If there is any question i promise to use allexperts but if there is just any info i want to get or pass on.....(if you dont mind please give me)

.......Srinivas
(Sunffy is pure white except for a yellow coloured year)

Answer
Hi Srinivas!(I have changed my mind on one thing---please read this but be sure to see my last note...)

~Sorry but I really don't know of any websites whom can send out an order and collect the money when it is delivered. At least that's not how it goes around here. You will probably have to use a credit card, do you have one?  I don't know if credit cards are used in India...?
I'm really sorry but the only way to order online is by use of a credit card...At least around here...You might be able to find somebody if you looked hard enough... ;-)

Oscars-
Your oscars still have white spot? Are the medications working at all? If not the white spot parasites might be resistant. How long have they had white spot? If all else fails you could try the transfer method for treating stubborn white spot. (Just let me know if you want more info).
Anyway, I really hope your oscars are getting better!! :)

Corydoras-
Poor cory...but a lucky cory!! You might want to give him a water change to see if the water quality is making him feel bad. Really cories should have a small herd so to speak to live in. A typical cory herd should consist of at least 4-6 members. If he is losing his color and not eating you should really take note of the water quality or raise the temperature a few degrees. My Cories LOVE freeze dried tubifex worms, frozen brine shrimp, Shrimp pellets, Algae wafers and even flakes...Have you tried him on any frozen foods? That might lift his spirits a bit. But he might be coming down with an illness so watch him closely.

~Hmm... nippy? She is probably only wanting to play with you and everybody else but I know it hurts REALLY bad because pups have needle sharp teeth around that age! She is probably also teething, she will grow out of the teething stage but will bite less if she is given LOTS of toys to play with. Most puppies bite during play but it shouldn't be a long term problem if dealt with properly.

One method to teach a pup to stop biting is you should sort of "yelp" and withdraw from play whenever she bites. It's also very important to never wrestle with her, this will just encourage more biting. Substitute plenty of good toys instead of your hand. What method are you using to teach her not to bite? Just wondering.... :)

Email Address-
Please tell me yours first and I will just email you back by your email Address! I will appear as Karen fields!
Thanks!! ;-)

Well I wish you the best with everything! Good luck on your Oscars, Cories and little pup!

Take care,
Karen~

Srinivas,
I am REALLY sorry but I've thought about the email address thing for a while, I've changed my mind and I simply cannot give out my email address. It is not part of my privacy policy to give out my personal information --- not just to you ---  but to anybody. I mean no offence, Srinivas.

However, you are welcome to ask any more questions you may have about fish keeping.

I hope you understand,
As always take care!
Karen~
