does betta fish and mollies eat the same food, and do mollies kill one another??

I had a betta fish, which died after two years, then just got two so called mollies, but the larger killed the smaller(appears to have been a black and dalmation) the dalmation was the one who died, I was wondering if it were possible for the black to be a betta, instead of a molly or are mollies in the beta family as well…and the betta food can it be feed to the molly fish now?

why is raw meat bad for your dog?

ok, so I feed my dog raw meat occasionally (like im talking a lamb shank every few weeks or mixing some lamb kidney in with her biccies) and i get scolded for it, people telling me it’s not healthy for them, or it makes them vicious… and when i feed them dog food i get scolded because commercial pet food is over processed and tainted with toxins, which are used to preserve the food and to give it an attractive smell and taste.

My nan’s Chihuahua is turning 17, which is longer then it’s life expectancy. she’s always fed him raw meats.
Dog in the wild eat raw meat, it is there diet.

can anyone give me hard facts that prove to me good or bad. I just want to know, and make sure i am feeding my dogs the healthiest food possible.
My dog isn’t the chihuahua, as i said, thats my nan’s dog. i have two bullies. yeah i heard that about the beef having tape worms… it’s normally just lamb shanks, and organs like lamb kidneys or livers and marrow bones if they are lucky. other wise they get those dog polony rolls.

how do i befriend a stray cat that keeps coming around for food?

it is obviously homeless and needs a good going over by a vet. i feed it but it won’t let me come too close to it. i am gradually earning its trust but i am concerned it will take longer than its health can hold out for.

Is the dog food “Profile” a good brand?

I found this dog food called Profile, its very expansive and has no additives, its preserved in Vitamin E and is made with no chemiclas but all natural flavours and herbs and spices. Will this be a good dog food for an Aussie I might be getting in September? Is Iams better? My sheltie is on Iams, but he is not as big as an aussie will get and i feed my sheltie a lot of table scraps (the healthy ones, not like chicken bones or whatever).
