He then said a better joke would be to call it ich-stremely blue

My brother and I'm favorite joke is working song lyrics into regular conversation so I told him that dosing ich x into a tank with black silicone was like blue on black

Round 3 - Malacostraca - Mysida

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

Order: Mysida

Common Name: “Opossum Shrimps”

Families: 2 - Mysidae and Petalophthalmidae

Anatomy: shrimp-like; stalked eyes; two pairs of antennae; thorax consists of eight segments each bearing branching limbs, concealed beneath a protective carapace; abdomen consists of six segments and, usually, smaller limbs; females have a marsupium (brood pouch)

Diet: filter feeders on algae, detritus, and zooplankton

Habitat: worldwide in marine, brackish, and some freshwater environments; can be benthic or pelagic in shallow or deep waters

Evolved in: unknown

A few species of mysid, mostly in the subfamily Heteromysinae, are commensal (a form of symbiosis in which members of one species gain benefits while those of the other species neither benefit nor are harmed) and are associated with sea anemones and hermit crabs.

The species Mysidium integrum has a mutualistic relationship with Longfin Damselfish (Stegastes diencaeus), with the mysid providing nutrients for the algae farms the fish tends to and feeds on, and the fish providing protection from predators. The interaction has been described as a form of domestication, with the fish caring for the crustaceans as livestock.

The freshwater species of the genus Mysis have been referred to as “glacial relicts”, species whose range was once much wider in previous epochs. Mysis relicta (image 3) is a freshwater species now relegated to boreal lakes of Northern Europe, though it is also present in the Baltic Sea. The North American lakes, including the Great Lakes, are inhabited by Mysis diluviana. Various species of Mysis are found in lakes of the South Swedish highlands, like Lake Sommen, that were never connected to the sea or the Baltic Ice Lake. This have led to theories that claim a natural lock system existed in the area during the Younger Dryas (12,900 to 11,700 years Before Present).

Possibly the cutest mysids, species of the genus Idiomysis are just few millimeters in length, with a rounded cephalothorax and a characteristic curled-up abdomen (image 2 and gif). When compared with other mysids, Idiomysis species have short antennae, relatively big eyes and a small, usually unarmed telson. They live in small groups of 5 to more than 40 individuals, which hover over the sea bottom, looking like a swarm of tiny orbs with big eyes.

The Chameleon Shrimp (Praunus flexuosus) (image 1) is named for its highly variable coloration, ranging from brown or red to green.

Male Mysids have a pair of long penises (penii?), which are both inserted into the female’s marsupium during sex. His release of sperm into the marsupium stimulates the female, who releases eggs usually within an hour. The young are fertilized and retained within the marsupium until they emerge, as miniature adults. Follow for more Penis Facts.

Mysids form an important part of the diet of many fish, such as as shad (family Alosidae) and flounder (suborder Pleuronectoidei).

Americamysis bahia and Americamysis almyra are frequently used for bioassays, to test for pesticides and other toxic substances, with A. bahia found to be more sensitive during the periods when it is moulting.

I don't think I've ever used ich-x before but I am trying it because things are still pretty low stakes and that shit is BLUE

[shrimp-propaganda]

Part of me is like oh what if I was freaking out over nothing and the white spots don't mean anything and I throw a bunch of meds at it and it just makes everything worse even though I KNOW that's the devil talking and treating while it's not advanced is my best shot at getting rid of it but ugh

[shrimp-propaganda]

sh….shrip

two of them....

[shrimp-propaganda]

who wants to go to the aquarium with me i want to stand in cold rooms for two hours straight and look at jellyfish and maybe pet a small stingray

the very first quote for replacing the ac part that's broken was 7k and the quote for a whole new furnace/ac since they're 20 years old was almost 19k 🙃🙃🙃

Round 3 - Malacostraca - Lophogastrida

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

Order: Lophogastrida

Common Name: no common name for the collective order; often called “opossum shrimp”, though this common name is often used specifically for the order Mysida instead

Families: 3 - Eucopiidae, Gnathophausiidae, Lophogastridae

Anatomy: shrimp-like; a carapace covers the head and thorax, often extending beyond their heads to form an elongated rostrum; stalked compound eyes; muscular cylindrical abdomen; females carry developing embryos and young in a marsupium

Diet: smaller crustaceans

Habitat: relatively deep pelagic waters of oceans worldwide

Evolved in: unknown

(source)

Propaganda under the cut:

Most lophogastridan species are between 1–8 centimetres (0.4–3.1 in) long, but the Giant Red Mysid (Gnathophausia ingens) can be up to 35 cm (14 in) long, probably the largest pelagic crustacean in the world. Despite its common name, it is not a mysid (in the order Mysida).

Female Giant Red Mysids may brood their young for up to 530 days, and do not feed during this time!

Giant Red Mysids can release a glowing, bioluminescent fluid to distract predators, while making a getaway.
