Kiha's Dinobugfish Adventures: Jarl Lysander of Daggerfall

Kiha

Here we have the leader / Jarl of Tankrim: Lysander of Daggerfall. Named by a friend of mine on a mermaid forum I frequent, this Triops Longicaudatus is the biggest and oldest of the other three Triops. She's about three inches long from her head to buttprong-thingy-tip, which makes her a liiittle bit longer than my index finger. She's a big lady, and a gorgeous specimen!

She was actually the secondborn of all of my Triops; the one that came before her was a Cancriformis who was simply dubbed "Jarl Firstborn" (full title "Jarl Firstborn, Largest of the Cancriformis, Bringer of Hope, He Who Led All Others From the Algae-Infested Birthlands of Morrowtank to the Great Realm"), who died shortly after crossing the border into Tankrim and getting into an altercation with my Bristlenose Pleco, Alduin the Algae-Eater (long story short, Alduin's special hiding place is in a hollow in the filter. Jarl Firstborn decided to go up there and start picking at Alduin, Alduin got agitated and started thrashing and hurt him), so Lysander took his place as Jarl.

She's definitely one of the better-behaved Triops, for sure, and gets along so well with Alduin it's actually kind of creepy. The other day I was feeding them before I went to work, tossed in some adult Triop pellets for the four of them and an algae round for Alduin, and though the others found their pellets Alduin got spooked by me being so close to the glass and went and hid underneath the coral arch by his filter. Lysander actually went over and, still carrying her pellet in her mouth, somehow managed to drag the algae pellet over to Alduin, wait for him to start eating, and then took off with her own food to munch away. IT WAS REALLY CUTE BUT KINDA WEIRD.
