960.Pretty seashells (5/10)

Hearing Qin Shiou say that she wanted to play tricks, Princess Lori leaned on the stern of the boat with great interest and looked into the water according to Qin Shiou's guidance.

"What do you see there?" Qin Shiou asked, pointing to the coral reef underwater.

Princess Lori looked at it and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu?" ”

"Yes, this is a clownfish, have you ever had a clownfish?" Qin Shiou said.

The most common fish near coral reefs is clownfish, which is associated with corals and sea anemones.

Princess Lori shook her head and said, "No, I've seen it in the movie, "Adventure Under the Sea", I've watched it several times, Nick is a clownfish, right?" ”

Qin Shiou nodded and smiled, and asked, "Do you want to make contact with them?" ”

Princess Lori looked at Qin Shiou curiously, the latter snapped her fingers a few times in a row, and the sea god consciousness moved, and quickly controlled the two orange-red clownfish with white markings under the water.

When he snapped his fingers for the first time, the two swimming clownfish stiffened.

Then the snapping fingers sounded rhythmically, and the clownfish swung its tail gracefully, swam up to the sound of snapping fingers, and swam all the way to the water at the stern of the boat, and then slowly swam around, looking as if it was domesticated, very well-behaved.

Clownfish are generally relatively small, the largest is more than ten centimeters, these two fish are only about four or five centimeters, Qin Shiou held the water with his hands, and the clownfish waited quietly between his hands.

Princess Lori exclaimed, then reached out to cover her small mouth, and asked with wide eyes in surprise: "Allah, how did you do it?!" ”

"It's a secret. I haven't sued anyone, but I can sue you today. Qin Shiou motioned for him to scoop some water with both hands, and then put the little fish between her little hands.

"I understand the language of fish. My snapping fingers hit a specific frequency, and they could hear that frequency, and then they heard my words and floated up. Qin Shiou said with a smile.

Princess Lori looked at him suspiciously and said, "You lied to me, right?" I'm not a kid under the age of ten. But then she laughed again, "But I believe your words, because I trust you." ”

I watched it for a while. The water in her hand dried up, and Princess Lori released the clownfish back into the sea.

Qin Shiou asked, "Do you want to raise them?" With you? ”

Samara nodded and shook her head, "They're beautiful. But my house is in the desert, and they won't like it. The ocean is their home, so let them stay in their home. ”

"You can keep them in a fish tank."

Samarra continued to shake her head, "My brother used to have a kitty eagle. My father sued him. Eagles belong to the sky, and if they are kept in captivity, they will be very unhappy and will die. My brother didn't listen, and then the eagle died, and I didn't want the clownfish to die too. ”

"Clownfish are not eagles, they can be farmed because they are ornamental fish. And. You can raise some of them as you like, and they will give birth to baby fish. Qin Shiou saw that she was a little reluctant and said.

Clownfish are hermaphroditic animals. Males can become females, but females cannot become males. Each clownfish population has a dominant female and several adult males, the latter being hermaphroditic in their youth. If a dominant female dies, one of the adult males will undergo hormonal changes and transform into a new female in the population.

Therefore, if you raise clownfish casually, as long as you don't cause the fish to die quickly because of the environment and feed, you can always reproduce.

Princess Lori still shook her head and said, "The fish tank is so small, I will be bored and unhappy when I stay in the palace, not to mention the clownfish in such a small fish tank?" ”

"You're a kind girl." Qin Shiou smiled, he snapped his fingers, and then lifted the control of the clownfish, and the two small fish immediately flicked their tails and disappeared without a trace.

While chatting with the little princess, Qin Shiou looked for beautiful shells on the bottom of the sea, the ones near the sea were too ordinary, and he went directly into the slightly deeper sea area.

The waters around the Great Barrier Reef are like this, there is nothing left in the shallow sea, and there are too many tourists. There are a lot of beautiful species in the deep sea, and although people can dive into the deep sea again, they are just for the pleasure of diving, and they can't fish for anything there.

Australia also has regulations that deep-sea species cannot be fished except for fishing, and fishing is also restricted.

The four sea god consciousness searched the surrounding sea area like a plow, and when he passed near a small coral reef, Qin Shiou's face was happy, and a beautiful shell was stuck on the coral reef.

This shell has a smooth and shiny appearance, and is pear-shaped as a whole, with protruding ends and a rounded back. The shell is golden-yellow with white spots of varying sizes, like stars, and the dorsal line is arched to the right. The shell has fine ribs at both ends, reddish-brown in color, and a black-brown markings on both sides of the base.

Qin Shiou has studied a lot of marine life, and when he saw this shell, he quickly identified its species, which is the Venus eyeball shell, whose scientific name is Venus snail, which lives in tropical and subtropical warm sea areas, from the intertidal zone to deeper rocky reefs, coral reefs or sediment seabeds.

Venus eyeball shells mainly feed on algae and coral animals, so if you want to find them, you have to find them near the coral bushes, which is a species that is very popular among shellfish collectors, and has a high ornamental and collectible value.

Before the advent of trawling in the late eighties, only a few dozen of these shells were found a year, and in Australia and Indonesia, a five-centimetre Venus eyeball shell could change a house.

However, unless it is an A1 rarity that is more than seven centimeters long, it is not so valuable now.

Finding this shell, Qin Shiou quickly put on his scuba equipment and said to Princess Lori: "Okay, don't wait for that big-name diving instructor, I'll go to the sea to take a look, I heard a fish tell me that I have a beautiful seashell here." ”

Biting the snorkel and carrying the oxygen cylinder, Qin Shiou slowly dived into the water, while the Poseidon consciousness rolled up the Venus eyeball and sent it up from the bottom of the sea more than a hundred meters deep.

Scuba diving is also to a depth of forty meters, so Qin Shiou just dangled around the seabed.

He swam directly forward to merge the Poseidon Consciousness, and took the Venus Eyeball and put it in his waist bag.

This shell is about five centimeters, although it does not meet the standard of A1 treasures, but it is relatively rare in recent years, especially this shell is still alive, Qin Shiou gave it input Poseidon energy, so that it can maintain vitality when it reaches the surface of the water.
