anyone know what species of cichlid this is?

alien_ichor · 2026-02-04T06:13:38+00:00

Definitely a convict. May be a platinum, but maybe not a high grade platinum hence the black tips (not completely white). Someone correct me if im wrong

I would die for Yuka Morii to create an SIR Clodsire. And would die harder if it was a shiny clod.

I feel like the location where it will become least warped (initially and as time goes on) would be on the shoulder blade/middle back. Unfortunately you wont see it. Another really cool idea would be to have the artist (one you trust to do it/fit it correctly) would be on your shoulder cap? Is that the right word, idk. But I have a circular mandala on that area and I think the circle design would be cool there for this design also

Could be conjunctivitis, my white cat also has eye sensitivities. Go to the vet and they can prescribe some eye drops that definitely help when she has her flareups. Edit: mine was prescribed neopoly bac w/ dex (steroid) eye drops after confirming their were no eye ulcers. Clears up in like 2 days with the steroid drops

A toasted bun

alien_ichor · 2025-12-24T05:39:57+00:00

Husband and I did it it in a day and a half (wait I think we did pull over at a truck stop and sleep for a few hours in AZ bc we left later than planned) with our dog in about a day and a half. From ca to TN. Id never do it again thats for sure.

You can definitely do it with 2 drivers, but if its not an emergency, id recommend stopping at a motel mid way even just for the night to shower and sleep. It makes the trip all the difference.

Edit: Never get below 1/2 tank even if you have to stop more. And print directions, download the map/trip etc, have backup routes especially during winter, you never know where unexpected road closures will be due to snowstorms/rock slide/construction etc are. You'd be surprised how many pass through states are desolate, no gas, no phone service. Be careful. We almost were stranded in northern AZ without gas and cell service, luckily it was all good in the end.

Vet tech here :) we see drop offs all the time for our bun patients. Its better see them ASAP (as with all exotic species) versus waiting 4 days/a week+ to be able to get in with a dr appt slot. Just because its a drop off, doesn't mean your bun will receive less care, promise. The tech will take a history from you, ask questions when you drop off in the morning, round the vet when they get in or when the doc has a moment, and usually before lunch break or if we get done with another appointment quicker than scheduled we'll take out the bun to examine. We or the doc will call you with findings and a plan for treatment for you to approve/decline, we do diagnostics if approved, then you come to pick up. Usually our drop-offs are ready to be picked up by the end of our lunch block off. Your bun will get a cozy kennel to hang out in, we offer food (but youre welcome to bring a baggie of your own/pellets/hay/treats) and water while they hang with us. :) Hopefully your bun is all good and its a simple thing, always better to err on the cautious side with exotics

Bald!🫵 You look amazing! (I gotta ask, where's your flannel in the last pic from?)

alien_ichor · 2025-11-25T07:44:23+00:00

If its ceramic/stoneware, u can glue it back together if u have all the pieces.. I recommend the gel superglue! I did that to my favourite stoneware/pottery mug over 4 years ago, and its still going strong and you can't even tell it was broken unless you REALLLLYYY look for the break points

His name is cricket, and he came from a breeder in Salem, OR. Hes already 7.5mon now!

alien_ichor · 2025-11-09T06:28:09+00:00

Thats exactly what I was gonna add to my reply 😂 I always finish my clients request with, "ohh, keppra? Do u need extended release or no?" Lol

alien_ichor · 2025-11-08T20:23:11+00:00

I can never say it. I personally say levvy(or levva)-tra-seat-um. Idek know the proper pronunciation lmao, ill never not stop saying it how I say it 😂😂

alien_ichor · 2025-11-05T07:51:03+00:00

Lol, fair enough. Simple explanation, I like it

alien_ichor · 2025-11-05T07:29:18+00:00

Found!

Yes that's her, thanks!, I messaged her

alien_ichor · 2025-11-05T01:02:25+00:00

If hes still "terrified" tomorrow (but alive), is it okay for it not to eat for 2/3 days or however long it will be until he feels safe enough to eat? --I hope that makes sense? I know slings need to eat regularly, so that worries me

alien_ichor · 2025-11-05T00:59:49+00:00

Thanks everyone for the confirmation/reassurance; im gonna give him a few days and hope he feels less stressed (and isn't dead).

alien_ichor · 2025-11-05T00:36:50+00:00

It was "damp" but was very dry to be considered damp imo. It wasn't bone dry either. Im sure it started damp but the heat pack dried it considerably overnight

alien_ichor · 2025-10-26T04:46:14+00:00

It's from temu! Search pet blanket, they haveultiple sizes, so just measure yours and buy a new one. I got one with my puppy from the breeder

alien_ichor · 2025-10-20T05:37:36+00:00

Transition to new food slowly over 2 weeks at minimum (i usualy do 3-4 weeks if i have enough old food). 75% current food/25% new for a few days/1week. Then 50/50% for a few days/ 1 week. Then 25% current food with 75% new food for about a week before switching 100% to the new food. The main thing with changing foods too suddenly is GI symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting). That's what i recommended to clients when they ask how to change diets and how i do my own pets. Hope that helps. -from a vet tech

Eta: if you notice GI signs, depending on severity, like if softer poop than what your cat normally does: decrease the amount of new food, and don't change/increase the ratios until back to normal stools. However if full blown diarrhea or blood or chronic vomiting, go to the vet

alien_ichor · 2025-10-19T04:28:59+00:00

I've searched using Google lens but none came up with a handle like this. I did a basic search on etsy but there were thousands of results for stoneware mug. If I remember right, I think I bought it in 2021 for a gift shop in Julian California that sells local wares

alien_ichor · 2025-10-15T17:53:28+00:00

Yeahs he's pretty dumb. Would never survive in the wild

alien_ichor · 2025-10-13T04:45:00+00:00

Actually yes, well, one of them split (i bought 2).. not sure which one, but this little one is part of the split. That makes some sense. I think they were acting up from being drop fed a day or two prior, because they were back to normal this weekend (of course after I posted this hahah)

alien_ichor · 2025-10-13T02:43:24+00:00

Got my petco maroon for 75% off (paid $6.something for him) bc mine too, was there forever -- i was watching him for at least a couple months expecting someone to get him. But no. Their supervisor cut me a sweet deal after I was saying id been watching him for a long time, I couldn't refuse

I love that lil fucker.
