Shrimps & sand
Shrimp Juvenile
Juveniles from sea were collected and kept in all glass tank, latter on in a plastic box we brought two types of sand ,dividing the box with two type of sand ne very fine & other crumbles like ,then gently kept few juveniles on the top of sand ,immediately they started blowing sand upwardly and slowly going downwards in sand within less then a minute only eyes were visible, then that too disappeared ,latter on say after 20 minutes just to check we started slowly searching in sand with our fingers and relies they were comfortable down two cms. Then we kept little sand on the glass base to observe they are mostly on sand blowing it ( trying to cover them selves, maybe) Now just for curiosity I ask few questions: what type of food could be available between sand particles? What stimulates them to act like this? If some one wishes to suggest some experiments we can try it with this little number of juveniles. ManyThanks, Indulkar Shailendra India( presently in Egypt) |
