i dont know for western riders. But for english, normally you’ll find jumper events with bars set to various heights (you enter in a certain height competition) then there is hunter with various heights. dressage is another event that you find at lots of horse shows. but those are all events that will be there. It’s not really a team thing but normally you go to the show with your instructor and whoever else she is instructing but its based on you

Anyone know the approximate cost? Lets say I get the reptile for free, and just have to buy the supplies + yearly supplies. How much would I spend a year with a reptile.

Thanks in advance.

Anoles I would think. They require a 10 gallon tank with screen lid, and eat mainly crickets. The set up would be approximately $ 80-120 for the initial cost. After that, all you need for monthly supplies would be substrate and crickets….bulbs if they burn out, as well.

You can’t have a planted tank with salt water. It’s either a saltwater or freshwater tank. Planted tanks are freshwater. You can get many real plants at Petsmart and Petco, but those plants suck. If you like the real natural looking landscapes, then look up some ADA tanks and iwagumi. Those are the most natural looking in my opinion.

For a planted tank, regular old gravel won’t do. You have to get substrate. Eco complete is a good one that is easy to get. You can get it at Petco for a little over $ 20. ADA Aquasoil is one of the best substrates but there’s a shortage on it atm so it’s extremely hard to find. If you do find it, expect to pay a big load of $ $ for small bag. Since you’re a beginner, I wouldn’t suggest going all out iwagumi style. Those tanks require lots of maintenance and $ $ so I would suggest those tanks for more dedicated hobbyists.

Light is one of the most important things you need. Some plants require low light and some require high. Good lights for planted tanks are really expensive. I would suggest for you to go low light and buy a bunch of low light plants. Try getting a fluorescent light for your 10 gal. If I were on a low light budget, I’d prolly do an anubias tank. Anubias are very hardy and looks really nice when you have tons of it. Anubias is also pretty expensive – about 7 bucks for a regular sized piece. You would need quite a bit. After you have some, just let it grow and cut the rhizomes in half and tie on a different part of the driftwood. DO NOT BURY ANUBIAS. They will rot. The best way to grow anubias is to tie it on a piece of driftwood with some fishing line or sewing thread.

Many people will say you need fertilizers. If you’re doing low light, I wouldn’t worry too much on that. For high light planted tanks, you would need CO2 and fertilizers.

Here’s some cool anubias/low light tanks –

If you want to look at some very nice natural looking scapes, just look up iwagumi or ADA style tanks.

EDIT – Oh, I apologize. I don’t know anything about saltwater. Had no idea you could have plants in it. Explains why there are plants at the beach lol.. I’m not sure if he’s looking for a saltwater landscape though. The way he asked the question seems like he wants a natural valley type looking scape..

I am not afraid of bees, I know that if you don’t bother them, they won’t bother you.

My pond is only 5 feet across so I can’t just let them have their space. There are 10 bees there at any given time.

It’s gotten to the point that I can’t get close to the pond during the day without stirring them up. I have to do everything at night with lights on which is a pain.

The bees are coming for the water, the hive is not on my property and I know what direction they are flying to but not where they are going.

Will anything deter them? I can’t spray anything because of the pond plants and fish.

I’ve resorted to catching them with a net and stepping on them but I don’t really want to kill them, I just want them to go somewhere else.

I know they won’t bother me if they aren’t provoked but it is hard to watch my koi fish eat with 10-15 bees buzzing around my head!

Are you in China? And which city are you live in?
If you are in Beijing, you can go to the market in Yu Quan Road, which sells the whole things relevant to the birds, flowers and fishes. The market’s Chinese name is 玉泉路花鸟鱼虫市场. You can arrive at there by bus No. 337,452，472,473，728,736, or 941. Or you can go to 官园花鸟鱼虫市场 or 十里河天骄市场 I am so sorry that I don’t know translate their names in English, Guan Yuan Market of flowers, birds and fishes? So I think you can consult the dictionary. But I know that most Peking men buy those things in there. My grandfather bought the aquarium in the十里河天骄市场( Shi Li He Market)

Septecemia simply means an infection of the blood. It is not caused by genetics, but by bacteria, fungus or parasites
Reptiles (all) carry many types of pathogens (salmonella, etc) that can be dangerous to any person, but more so the young, old and immune compromised. I certianly would not let any of the children handle them, and I would strongly suggest you reconsider getting one. If one of the kids gets sick, not only would you be feeling guilty, but I’d be worried that you could get sued.

Proper handwashing and cage care is needed for owning a reptile no matter who is handling it.

Question by Vanina G: How can I teach my cat tricks?
I want to teach my cat basic tricks like Sit, Stand, and Come. Today I already tired putting a treat over my cats head and tried saying Stand up but my cat didn’t even pay attention. And I really want my cat to be able to come to me when I call her name. My cat gets easyly distracted so its really hard getting her attention to do some tricks.

Best answer:

Answer by B
Find a treat that your cat really likes and be persistent. Most cats are stubborn/lazy but they can be taught if they’re willing to learn. Just make sure you’re persistent with it. Also, don’t make the training sessions too long or your cat will get bored.

Question by : Find the work needed to pump half of the water out of the aquarium.?
An aquarium 2m long, 1m wide, and 1m deep is full of water. find the work needed to pump half of water out of the aquarium (use the fact that the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3)

Best answer:

Answer by chauncy
I assume the water is to be pumped to the height of the top of the aquarium.

The first thing to notice is that you don’t need to use calculus. We can assume the water is of constant density, so the work required will be equal to the work required to raise a point mass equal to the mass of the water to be pumped and located at its centre of gravity.

The water to be pumped has an elevation of 0.5 to 1 metre.
Thus the centre of gravity of the water to be pumped has an elevation of 0.75 metres, so the point mass has to be raised through a height of 0.25 metres.

Work done = potential energy gained = mgh

where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity and h = height

Mass = volume * density
Thus the mass of the water = 2 m * 1 m * 0.5 m * 1,000 kg/m^3
= 1,000 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

So the work required to pump half of the water out of the aquarium
= 1,000 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.25 m
= 2,450 Joules
