Checkerboard Cichlid Dicrossus Filamentosus 3cmOverview: The Checkerboard Cichlid, known for its distinctive checkerboard pattern and elongated fin filaments, is a small yet captivating freshwater fish. Its serene demeanor and striking appearance make it a prized specimen for planted and biotope aquariums.
Origin: Native to the slow-moving, acidic waters of the Amazon Basin in South America, this species thrives in environments that mimic their natural habitat. They prefer soft, slightly acidic water, rich in tannins, and with plenty of hiding spots.
Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, Dicrossus filamentosus enjoys a varied diet. Offer a mix of high-quality dried foods, such as flakes and pellets designed for small cichlids, along with live and frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms to ensure optimal health and coloration.
Tank Mates: Due to their peaceful nature, Checkerboard Cichlids do well with other non-aggressive species. Ideal tank mates include small tetras, dwarf corydoras, and other similarly sized, peaceful fish. Avoid housing with large or overly aggressive species to prevent stress.
Aggression: This species exhibits minimal aggression and is often shy. However, males may show territorial behavior towards each other during breeding. Providing ample space and hiding places can minimize conflicts.
Experience Level: While not overly demanding, Dicrossus filamentosus is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Successful keeping requires attention to water quality, diet, and environment to mimic their natural habitat.

Squeaky balls for big dogs
Color: Squeaky-4 Pack, Size: Medium
I wanted a cheaper alternative to the Kong squeaky balls but unless you have big dogs that have powerful jaws, it is challenging for small and some medium dogs to squeak these. My dogs lost interest when they realized they couldn't squeak them. I will have to pass them off to a friend who has large dogs.

Moms dog here…reviewing cos it’s mine!
Color: Squeaky-4 Pack, Size: Medium
Moms corgo here. Reviewing the squeaky balls mom bought.
First off..they’re green. I don’t know what green exactly is cos I’m colorblind, so whatever that is it is and because it’s mine, I like it.
Secondly, they’re fluffy. It’s an annoying texture that I like to peel off, but these are tough and peeling them is a struggle.
Thirdly, the bounce. I don’t know where these balls think they’re going to think my mom is so repulsive, but they bounce just high enough to catch them and bring the escapee back to mom when I feel like they need to go back to her, otherwise, I take them to a safe spot to release into the wild…but mom always captures them and they always escape. I tell you, it’s a vicious cycle.
Fifthly…the squeak!! That rotten vulgar noise!! I want to unalive those things so bad!! Balls in the past were no match for my jaws of death, but these?? These are resilient and have quite the will to live! I have yet to destroy one!!
To wrap this up…Corgo approves and declares them mine. I like them. I think your doggo will like them too. But you can’t have mine..cos they’re mine.

Not for aggressive chewers
Color: Non Squeaky-12 Pack, Size: Medium
You get a good amount of balls for the price. My dogs loved them but unfortunately they did not last long. That is not the company’s fault, my dogs are very toy aggressive and destroy almost every toy.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.
