2015 SFIOFF Finalist. A short documentary about the relationship between the Goby fish and the Pistol shrimp. Filmed and edited throughout July and August 2013 during my underwater video internship in Koh Tao, Thailand. Music is from Kevin MacLeod.

It's also worth mentioning that if the blind shrimp somehow walks away from the nest, the Gobi will find it, and guide it back home, safe and sound :3

On a side note: I *LOVE* seeing animal relationships like this, it's so unique and interesting to see them interact in such a cooperative manner, when they live in such a violent savage environment.

Wow pillars and even a garden??? Lol For being a blind construction worker, those pistol shrimp sure do build some nice cribs!! No wonder why the goby's are always crashing at their pads....

I feel like this is a sitcom type relationship. The neat freak shrimp constantly cleaning the house while the lazy goby messes things up. He eats and the sand filters _right_ into that spot Mr. Shrimp just cleaned! But Mr.Shrimp knows that whenever he's in trouble his pal, Goby Maguire, will have his back.

I don't think "symbiotic" means what you think it means.

@LeonAllanDavis 7 жыл бұрын

KaennC Sure I do. A symbiotic relationship between two organisms means each depends entirely upon the other for survival. Another word for this is "mutualism". Not exactly the same thing, but close. In the case of my relationship with the trout, I ensure its survival by sending it to the Big Trout Stream in the Sky in which it will happily swim for all eternity and it ensures my survival by providing me with nutritious calories and one more reason to drink another cold beer.

@um02122 9 жыл бұрын

I loved it. Very professional too. You must be a very patient man to get such relaxed gobies in such great detail. It is the only footage I've seen on the internet showing the watchman gobies in their wild habitat. (I noticed some chalk gobies in there too, It would be interesting to find if they take any interest in forming a relation with the pistol shrimp too. In captivity I've never seen them doing so.) As a reef aquarium enthusiast, I can only note that these fish were not meant to live in full blown reefs, living in the nature in sandy with coral rubble areas. Paradoxically, the open space is giving them safety, as nothing can approach unnoticed. Personally I think it's evolution, but even if it's design, it's still very fascinating.
