Beachworld decorative acquarium
Beachworld decorative acquarium – Selenite Oval is part of Beachworld in TAOS. The Beachworld are miniature biospheres or hermetically sealed marine ecosystems that surround the core activity of our land and draw the life from natural elements such as light and heat.
Inside there are red shrimps that Beachworld found on some Pacific Islands. They live in small pools of salt water formed in the lava rocks. Thick layers of algae cover the walls of dark red puddles, together with other types of macro-algae. Animals don’t eat the macro-algae but rather care, nourishing of microalgae and bacteria growing on it. Shrimps are then literally gardeners of their habitat: they maintain the environmental balance inside the puddles and store clean is making the large algae can thrive.
How does a Beachworld by TAOS born?
In Beachworld we rebuild Anchialini Lakes environment (half freshwater and half saltwater); large and microscopic algae present within it produce oxygen and food for the animals, they will reciprocate by providing the substances necessary for their growth: carbon dioxide and nutrients and nitrogenous substances. It is possible to observe the animals often graze on larger algae, taking care of them. If someone disturbs the shrimp, it tends to temporarily lose his bright red in an attempt to blend in with the background. Once he has calmed down, soon becomes red again.
Normally this crustacean don’t breed within the mini-ecosystem as it likes to breed in the dark in secluded places.
The average life expectancy of a Beachworld is 7 years, although there have been cases where its inhabitants have lived very much longer.
This is an educational product, not suitable for children under six years.
Treat it with care.
