960. Beautiful seashells
When Princess Loli lay on the stern of the boat excitedly and followed Qin Shiou's guidance to the water.
"What do you see there?" Qin Shiou asked, pointing to the coral reef underwater.
Princess Loli looked at it and said, "Yes, little fish?"
"Yes, this is the clown fish. Have you ever raised clown fish?" Qin Shiou said.
The most common fish near coral reefs are clown fish, which are associated with corals, sea anemones, etc.
Princess Loli shook her head and said, "No, I have watched "The Undersea Adventure" in the movie. I have watched it several times. Nick is the clownfish, right?"
Qin Shiou nodded and smiled, and asked, "Do you want to contact them?"
Princess Loli looked at Qin Shiou curiously. The latter snapped his fingers several times. The sea god was in a state of consciousness and quickly controlled the two orange-red clown fish with white markings underwater.
When he snapped his fingers for the first time, the two swimming clown fish suddenly became stiff.
Then the fingers snapped and the clown fish swung its tail gracefully, swam up along the sound of the fingers snapping, and swam all the way to the water at the stern of the boat. Then it slowly swam around, looking like it was domesticated and very well-behaved.
The clown fish is usually small, the largest one is just over ten centimeters. These two fish are only about four or five centimeters. Qin Shiou held up the water with his hands, and the clown fish stayed quietly between his hands.
Princess Loli exclaimed, then reached out to cover her mouth, widened her eyes and asked in surprise: "How did you do it all?"
"This is a secret. I have never told anyone. I can tell you today." Qin Shiou motioned for his hands and scoop some water, and then put the little fish between her hands.
"I understand the language of fish. My snap of my fingers touches a specific frequency. They can hear the sound of this frequency, and then when they hear my words, they float up." Qin Shiou smiled.
Princess Loli looked at him suspiciously and said, "You lied to me, right? I'm not a child under ten years old." But then she laughed again. "But I believe your words because I trust you."
After looking for a while, the water in his hand dried up, and Princess Loli put the clownfish back into the sea.
Qin Shiou asked, "Do you want to raise them? Be your company?"
Samara nodded and shook her head. She said, "They are beautiful, but my home is in the desert, and they won't like it. The ocean is their hometown, so let them stay in their hometown."
"You can keep them in a fish tank."
Samara continued to shake her head, "My brother had a little eagle before. My father told him that eagles belong to the sky. If they were kept in captivity, they would be very unhappy and would die. My brother didn't listen. Later, the eagle died, and I didn't want the clownfish to die too."
"Clown fish are not eagles, they can be farmed because they are ornamental fish. Moreover, you can raise some of them at will. They will give birth to babies." Qin Shiou said reluctantly when she saw that she was a little reluctant.
Clown fish are hermaphrodite animals, and their males can become females, but females cannot become males. Each clown fish population has a dominant female and several adult males, who are hermaphrodite during adolescence. If a dominant female dies, one of the adult males will undergo hormonal changes and transform into a new female in that population.
Therefore, keep clown fish at will, as long as the fish will die quickly due to environment or feed, it will always breed.
Princess Loli shook her head and said, "The fish tank is so small. I feel bored and unhappy when I stay in the palace, let alone the clown fish staying in such a small fish tank?"
"You are a kind girl." Qin Shiou smiled. He snapped his fingers and then lifted his control over the clownfish. The two little fish immediately shook their tails and disappeared without a trace.
While chatting with the little princess, Qin Shiou was looking for the beautiful shells at the bottom of the sea. The near-shore was too ordinary, so he went directly into the slightly deeper sea area.
This is the case in the sea around the Great Barrier Reef. There is nothing left in the shallow sea and there are too many tourists. There are many beautiful species in the deep sea. Although people can also dive back into the deep sea, it is just to enjoy the fun of diving and cannot catch things there.
Australia also has regulations that in addition to fishing, deep-sea species cannot be caught, but fishing also has restrictions. Race, length and size are still not allowed to be brought with them if they do not meet the regulations.
The four sea gods' consciousness searched the surrounding waters as if they were plowing the ground. When they passed by a small coral reef, Qin Shiou's face was happy, and a beautiful shell was stuck on the coral reef.
The shell looks smooth and shiny, and overall it is pear-shaped, with both ends protruding and round back. The shell is golden and has different sizes scattered on it, such as star-shaped white spots, with the curve of the back line tilted to the right. There are fine ribs at both ends of the shell, reddish-brown, and a dark brown mark on both sides of the base.
Qin Shiou was aware of many marine life. When he saw this shell, he quickly identified its species. This is the Venus eyeball shell, and its scientific name is the Venus Treasure Snail. It lives in tropical and subtropical warm sea areas. It has traces from intertidal zones to deeper rock reefs, coral reefs or silt seabeds.
Venus eye shells mainly feed on algae or coral animals, so if you want to find them, you have to look for them near coral bushes. This is a species that shellfish collectors are very popular with high ornamental and collection value.
Before the emergence of trawler fishing grounds in the late 1980s, only dozens of these shells were found in a year. At that time, in Australia and Indonesia, a Venus eyeball of more than five centimeters could be replaced with a house.
However, unless it is a level A1 treasure with a length of more than seven centimeters, it is not that valuable.
When Qin Shiou found this shell, he quickly put on his scuba equipment and said to Princess Loli: "Okay, before waiting for the big-name diving instructor, I'll go to the sea to take a look. I heard fish tell me there are beautiful sea shells here."
Bitering the snorkel and carrying the oxygen cylinder, Qin Shiou slowly dived into the water, while the consciousness of the sea god rolled up the eyeballs of Venus and sent it up from the seabed more than 100 meters deep.
Scuba diving is only about 40 meters deep, so Qin Shiou just sways on the surrounding seabed.
He swam forward to gather the consciousness of the sea god, took the Venus eyeball and put it in his waist bag.
