New little friend! I need help naming them though

Just to clarify, i did NOT get him from any pet store, i got him from someone selling him on kijiji, and they were just done with hermit crabs i guess… but i did not support the hermit crab pet trade at all. Open to literally any names, goofy, serious, whatever. I have no idea what their gender is. Here is one of the lowest quality photos i have ever took. He is TINY, the smallest crab i ...

Another case of mistaken identity (…not honey gourami)

**reposted because I had a goofy typo and it wouldn’t let me edit Hi all — I am not a new aquarist, though it’s been about ten years since my last aquarium and I am new to gourami. I used to breed angels and they’re my favorite fish, so I have three juveniles in my recently set up 50 gallon. I did a bit of research as to some gourami compatible with cichlids, and honey gourami came up ti...

Local pet store got GSD puppies from a puppy mill

I was in the market for a German Shepherd puppy and my local store had 3 siblings (all blue/ tan coats). I went to see the pups without intent to purchase as they’re kinda expensive and did research on the breeder. Turns out it’s a puppy mill with 26 full grown dogs and another 25 puppies at time of inspection (3/24/25) and these pups were born 2/16/25. Does anyone have experience with this? A...

Can I get some advice/ Suggestions?

I keep fish and over the years I’ve collected some tanks and now I have like 9 extra tanks of varying sizes (I’ll list them near the end). I’ve been kinda leaning away from setting up another aquatic animal because I already stress about the amount of water I have just sitting around in my tanks.So I’ve been looking into other animals I can keep. I went to my local pet store and seen a ...

Buried Wishes

Cassie's fingers trembled as she pressed the small copper coin into Matt's palm. "Your turn," she whispered. The five of them stood in a circle around the moss-covered well, its stone rim crumbling in places, the forest unusually quiet around them. What had started as a boring Saturday afternoon hike had turned into something else entirely when they'd stumbled upon this clearing and the...

Crab house 2

Hello all! I have officially now completely revamped my crab house! My original crab house was not up to the correct standards that it should’ve been and that’s completely on me; the tank was too small, the water dishes didn’t allow for the crabs to fully submerge, there was about 3 inches of substrate, yadda yadda yadda the list goes on and my lack of correct information has been rectifi...

Feeding help!!!

I got my jumper on Sunday. The pet store didn't have any fruit flies or mealworms when I went on Monday, but they had some containers of superworms. I bought them and when I tried to cut one up to feed it to her, she didn't want to eat it. I accidentally smushed it against the wall (as seen in photo 2), and she picked up the glob of guts, and ate it. Yesterday, she sniffed the worm, and backed awa...

Help identifying breed

I had seen him at the pet store for 3 months before finally buying him. All the store could tell me was that a woman had dropped him off because she couldn’t take him with her and the store estimated his age at the time. My best guess is he’s a Beveren. Nothing else really matches with his shape and size. Age is roughly 3 and a half. Weight is 9 and a quarter pounds. Coat notes: it’s har...

Looking for info

Hey yall, This adorable little baby is Elanor. We just adopted her from our vet. Her wing was broken either at the pet store or before, and it sounded like the pet store brought her to my vet to euthanize her 😡 (I really despise box chain pet stores). Luckily my vet is amazing and wouldn't have it, so she was surrendered to the vet. The break supposedly isn't too bad but we don't know if s...

Help.

A few weeks ago I got a larger bubble koi and put him in a 40 gallon tank. The lady at the pet store said “oh if you have a 40 gallon filter just get another 40 gallon filter. He should be fine” I need to vacuum the gravel, but outside of that what can I do to lower the nitrates and ammonia? Would it be beneficial to get a 100 gal canister filter? I have all live plants. (This is a picture fro...

Does anyone know what all these taxes are about??

Don’t think I’ve ever seen this on a receipt. At least not from the pet store… Is this something new? Or does anyone know what the breakdown is for it? Not complaining. Just curious.

Bearded dragon rolling over on desert mat?

I have a long history of experience with reptiles both personally and professionally, but beardies behaviors I'm not too familiar with. I got this adult female maybe a month and a half ago, she's been great and super chill, she did lay some infertile eggs on and off here recently though. Her old mom had her on sand forever and I have had sand in there but intended to put in that desert mat thing ...
