Pistol Shrimp & Yellow Watchman Goby, living together in harmony🦐
The harmony is known as a symbiotic relationship, where both parties mutually depend on one another for a longer survival time.
The pistol shrimp builds and maintains the burrow throughout the day.🦐
The watchman goby is perched outside of the burrow to protect the pistol shrimp.
Despite their biological differences, they communicate to each other. When the pistol shrimp wants to come out of the burrow, it will place its antennas on the goby to make sure it’s safe outside of the home. On the flip side, when the goby goes into the burrow all of a sudden, the pistol shrimp knows it’s not safe out.
Come check out this relationship at Blue Ribbon Koi & Marine! #pistolshrimp #watchmangoby #watchmangobyandpistolshrimp #symbiotic #blueribbonkoimarine #saltwateraquarium #animalwatching

One of the reasons to purchase a Japanese koi is size. Your fish given good water parameters and fed properly should be 24 inches or more. If your fish has the jumbo gene your koi can reach up to 36 inches like the fish in both this video and the previous. In addition to color and pattern, this is one of the main reasons Blue Ribbon prefers Japanese koi. #koi #japanesekoi #jumbokoi #jumbokoifish #koifish #koipond #koifishpond #koilovers #koilover #bigkoi #bigkoifish #blueribbon #blueribbonkoi #northernva #catharpin
We are back from our fish buying trip for the spring and just in time for pond season. Look at these fish- some of the first we experienced in the premiere greenhouse we entered set up as it would be in Japan. The size and variety were amazing. Blue Ribbon had the opportunity to select from over 100 different varieties and various sizes. #koi #japanesekoi #koifish #koifishpond #koifarm #koijapan #koionline #hobbykoi #largekoi #pondseason #koibuying #instagramkoi #blueribbonkoi #northernva #northernvakoi
