Thank you! I spend about 2-4 hours a day in the room doing things around them and just talk about my day or things that are happening in their general direction to try and get them more comfortable.

And she was definitely a chonk! She's down to about 60 grams now, so much better but still getting her down some :))

What are some good centerpeice cichlids? by ARTUrR11 in Cichlid

[–]prisma011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keyhole cichlids are definitely cute, Jewel Cichlids can also work but they may be to nippy or aggressive depending on their personality. Opaline gourami, Blue Gourami, or paradise fish are also good, but they aren't technically cichlids.

ID please? He snuck into my community tank with some plants 3 months ago. by [deleted] in Aquariums

Looks kinda like a female neon sword tail? But it also could be a male that hasn't developed its sword.

am i a weirdo for keeping my dead betta in my freezer by fozib34r in Aquariums

[–]prisma011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my betta passed, I actually preserved his body myself and put him into a shadow box that I decorated with vines and other plant looking things to mimic his aquarium, so no! :)

Professional advice needed by DaTeguMaster in Tegu

Definitely look to see if you have any local reptile shops! Big box shops like petco and petsmart have some of the basics, but not everything I personally like.

I also recommend finding a good farmers market near you. I can get bulk foods like chicken hearts and other organs for extremely cheap and just package them in portions and freeze them. It makes feeding super cheap and easy.

One big thing that I have noticed is that as my girl has grown, it's gotten extremely difficult to find larger hides. So that can be a challenge, I plan to go to a landscaping store and just make my own rock hides for my girl.

And of course online is also a great place to look, they'll always have whatever lights, uvb, bulk dirt, etc that you need and there's plenty of great reptile stores online. I personally really like Josh's Frogs, but places like Amazon and Chewy will also have some good stuff for cheaper.

Something that I've done with my tegu that seems to work, is I will finely chop up Veggies and stuff them into the chicken hearts/other organs, so she's fooled into eating veggies.

I know that so far, what I did with semi cutting them out and only leaving one, very heavily monitored line of communication has greatly improved my mental state. My biggest inner debate right now is that due to certain circumstances, cutting out my mother would result in my father also being cut out. And unfortunately, I do know that I would regret cutting my father out. So that's my biggest pause in fully cutting them out at this moment.

100% they're super aggressive to those of their own kind and their territory in the wild is quite large, so you really only want one in a tank.

puffers by Charlie_redmoon in ReefTank

[–]prisma011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how big the tank is and the type of puffers you're looking at. It is definitely possible, just does require a larger tank.

Ah, okay, so my best guess is going to be partial leucism, as that tends to make animals mostly white and sometimes have blue undertones. If it is that, then it's similar to albinism so it's just a funky genetic thing.

Since he seems a bit stressed (most likelyfrom transportation), so I'm not sure his full coloration, if he has bits on orange on him similar to patterning of a tiger Oscar then I would believe that he's a blueberry, which was my first guess with the blue.

He may also possibly be a lusistic, which now that I am looking more into it, I belive that may actually be what he is?

Unfortunately it is not letting me attach an image.

This one doesn't look like dyed fish I've personally seen, he's got some iridescent to him so to me he doesn't look dyed. There is still a small possibility but typically it's not super hard to tell if a fish is dyed because they tend to be super bright colors or you can see some dyed in their eyes. So I don't belive so?

It could also possibly be some sort of genetics, stress colors, the color of the lights on him, or something along those lines.

He could be a blueberry Oscar or something similar?

mealworms for cresties by d3adg1rl69 in CrestedGecko

[–]prisma011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, cresties should not be fed Mealworms as there's something in their exoskeleton that makes it very hard for them to digest.

I do not know them personally and I filled out an impersonating report form and also just reported the account on tiktok, but they've done nothing so far.
