Goby and the Pistol shrimp - A symbiotic relationship. It's complicated.
The symbiotic relationship between a goby fish and a pistol shrimp is a classic example of mutualism, where both species benefit from their association. This partnership is often referred to as the "goby and shrimp" or "shrimp-goby" symbiosis and is commonly observed in tropical coral reef environments.
The goby fish, typically from the genus Gobiodon or Amblyeleotris, and the pistol shrimp, often Alpheus species, share a burrow in the sandy substrate. The goby provides the shrimp with protection by acting as a sentinel, keeping watch for potential predators. Gobies have excellent eyesight and are more alert to external threats, allowing them to alert the shrimp quickly.
On the other hand, the pistol shrimp, with its specialized claw, is an efficient excavator. It digs and maintains the burrow, providing a safe and well-structured home for both species. The shrimp has poor eyesight but possesses a highly developed sense of touch, allowing it to perceive vibrations in the water.
The collaboration between the goby and pistol shrimp showcases a division of labor and complementary skills. The shrimp contributes its burrowing abilities, while the goby contributes its vigilance. The goby often maintains physical contact with the shrimp, and when the goby detects danger, it signals the shrimp to retreat into the burrow for safety.
This mutually beneficial relationship enhances the survival and success of both species. The goby gains protection and a well-maintained shelter, while the shrimp benefits from the goby's ability to detect potential threats. Overall, the goby and pistol shrimp symbiosis exemplifies how different species can form cooperative partnerships for mutual advantages in the complex ecosystems of coral reefs.

Should a distinction be made between non-Japanese SHOWs, which are conducted without regard to the growing up period, and the original HINPYOKAI?
Good question, it is a bit off-topic from the intention of the movie, but the question tickles the mind 😅. Maybe other viewers also have an opinion about this suggestion from @atsuminaoki9910? From my perspective: in the original hinpyokai "philosophy" the koi itself is the absolute center of the show, and is on display in the most immaculate condition (hence the period one the year). But it is more a proof-of-excellence from the breeders to the hobbyists. Many non-Japanese shows are driven by hobbyists, and more about promoting koi instead of the pure competitiveness, and I think that makes a difference so I think I will go for a "YES" on your question 👍🏻.
@@aquaticnerd Or rather, the problem is that the KOI's growing period is neglected. Your British predecessors have taken our HINPYOKAI and renamed it SHOW for their own convenience and established a schedule that ignores the seasonality of the growing season. As a result, it has become commonplace in Europe and elsewhere for KOI to be distributed during the summer and many people suffer from flukes and have to keep a microscope on hand. Unless this ludicrous situation is remedied, there will forever be no interaction between you and the Japanese hobbyists with common values.

Brilliant, really interesting. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you! It inspires me to create new videos 👍🏻.
3:00 The generalisation of the name GOROMO is the biggest humiliation in history. You should learn from this person why the name GOROMO is wrong. ua-cam.com/video/XtpZzbvh5pY/v-deo.html.
It doesn't make sense to use KOI as an examples, to talk about KOI that were taken out at a young age and processed at the edge of the scale.
Waiting for next part ❤
Excellent 👌 thanks for a great explanation of these lovely varieties.
Thanks for liking, appreciate it 👍🏻!
Great explanation of variety. Are ai and budo goromo gosanke variety?
Hi John, no they are not although a young one can look almost as Kohaku but will develop distinct differences like colour (purple/dark) and scale pigmentation in time. They are a variety by itself, and will be discussed in the next coming video!
