Hey, fishblr, can I get some help IDing these two?

I’m pretty confident they’re Apistogramma (dwarf cichlid) but the exact species I’m having trouble nailing down.

They were sold to me ass a male/female pair. The female (smaller one) is not terribly fond of the male so far and avoids him at all costs but the male is super curious about her.

Well, today’s the 12th, so Arthur has officially been with us for a month.

In that month we’ve been to the vet 10 times. He’s got some pretty bad allergies and a previously ruptured eardrum that needed monitoring, then a minor procedure which he had to be anaesthetised for, then medicine every day given by the vet. The shelter didn’t realise he had allergies or any of these issues besides the ruptured eardrum which he was given the all clear on, hence they paid for 2 weeks of medicine for him, not that we demanded it or anything.

It’s all totally worth it for this little man honestly.

This is Arthur, my new friend.

Arthur is around five years old, according to the shelter. He was brought in as a stray so his history is a mystery. He’s a massive crybaby and cries over everything. Whether he’s happy, sad, excited or just adjusting his pillows to make a nest he cries. He loves cuddles and will nudge the back of your arm to go under it. He has allergies and issues with his ears that we’re working on with the vet. So far, we’ve found fish is working best for him. He’s a good boy and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better little dog. I think Ruby was guiding us when we got him at the shelter. The first image is the day we met him, we took him home the next day.

So I’ve been super inactive for the past couple months. I went through a breakup and the same time my beloved lab, Ruby, had to be put down due to illness. The last few days with her were soul destroying because she was in so much pain no medication was helping it, we were prepared to pay for surgery. The vet advised it was kinder to her to just let her go. She was my best friend for almost 9 years. I miss her dearly. I didn’t cope well with the loss. I’m doing better now, but it still hurts a lot.

This female European common toad [Bufo bufo] might have slept in, but she knows the worms aren’t gonna eat themselves. She was seen emerging from her burrow in Cervaro, Italy, by photographer Eugenio Sollima.

Hey! I just saw your comments on the octopus video, and was not entirely aware that some octopus change colour! You mentioned white was generally a fear reaction, but I would like to know any other colours they change to! Like when they’re happy, sad, excited and curious ect! Thank you!

that’s a question with a complicated answer, stand by!

My favorite pokemon types are Bug, Ghost and Fairy. So I made a pokemon triangle of those types.
