Sweeeet, finally I can participate

which one should I enter?

Stacef · 08-18-2008, 11:38 AM

Varga, I like them both, I like the clowns, but I am sure there will be a LOT of clowns this month..if you want to be different, it's a tough choice!

GSELLERS · 08-18-2008, 12:36 PM

Dont meant to ruffle the feathers but neither picture is a symbiotic relationship. Are we gonna go by the books on this contest? Just need clarification

dont mean to be a stooge

Varga · 08-18-2008, 12:57 PM

I would say that clowns/nems is a very symbiotic relationship. I think like Al pointed out, it works

Yes, both photos pertain to the topic at hand.

There are many forms of symbiosis: Endoecism, commensalism, mutualism, cleaning symbiosis...

BarbMazz · 08-18-2008, 01:14 PM

My idea for this theme is not only "True" symbiotic relationships, but mutualistic ones as well.... I figured the description Doni Marie gave included these sorts of things?

I'm fascinated by them! I can't wait to see the great pictures you guys will come up with....

Any stories you can include about your pairs will be great, too.

BigAl07 · 08-18-2008, 01:15 PM

This may help... it's a fairly broad term which can be described here...

Looks good to me Varga!
Great contest Barb. I hope there will be others of not just clowns and their anemones. Get some clowns and there clams too!

BigAl07 · 08-18-2008, 02:16 PM

Clowns and their "xenia" maybe? Or how about clowns and their "FrogSpawn"?

SeahorseBT · 08-18-2008, 02:33 PM

I have a pic of my clowns in frogspawn, but I will see if I can get a pic of my sexy shrimp on a ric. That counts right?

Snelly40 · 08-18-2008, 02:43 PM
