Comment on The Dancing Shrimp by John

Hello Diko.
I recall seeing a shrimp (can’t remember the type) that had been caught by one leg by an anemone (again can’t remember the type but it was a fairly large one). The shrimp slowly extricated itself by squeezing the offending ‘tentacle’ with a pincer until the anemone let go. The shrimp kept the ‘tentacle’ stretched during this exercise.
It’s rare that a shrimp would be caught by an anemone as, like fish, they seem to have an inbuilt instinct for danger. Obviously it’s better that the shrimp (and fish) have plenty of room to manouvre, so the aquarium should be big enough and the anemone not too big for the aquarium.
It’s unlikely that the shrimp will harm the anemone. Sometimes shrimp are, for a while, interested in some soft corals and this could apply to an anemone. As above, some say (this seems unproven?) that they could be interested in young aiptasia. However, larger size anemones would seem a different matter – the instinct for self preservation would, as said, make this generally unlikely.

Once I had huge menace of this unwanted algae. I checked and altered everything but failed. Then only I tried to adjust lights and after that me and fishes were both happy.

So far I have got a preliminary database design with about 50 or so tables with various relationships linking them all together to enable me to record and describe the various things I want to be able to track (specimens, equipment, measurements, etc). I am now starting to do some mock ups for the interface design and building the logic to communicate between the database and interface.

I have a 55 gal aquarium in our game room and I also have a 30 gal in my bedroom and everyone that sees them love them. My husband and I are planning to install our third tank, a 75 gal in our kitchen and livingroom wall. We will set it up so you can see threw the kitchen to the livingroom. This shoud open up the space a little and incorperate a nice living picture. I can’t wait until it’s all done. We just love our tanks!! It really doesn’t take that much to put in a wall tank just alot of planning. The expense of having a unique living picture is worth it.

Hi David, I am still in the very early stages of development so quite some way from having something ready to go live yet but many thanks for the offer – it’s nice to know there is some interest in what I’m doing. I will post periodic updates here and let you know when I have something ready for testing. BTW animal world looks like a really good website.
