![]() ![]() And that is where spirulina comes into play. While it is true that the physical layout of an aquarium, including illumination, can affect a fish’s coloration, ultimately it is diet that has the greatest impact on its appearance. In fact, they have seven distinct types of chromatophores:Įach chromatophore can actually produce several types of pigments and it is the transparency of the scales and the thinness of the epidermis that allow the pigments show through the skin as color for display. Beyond that, however, among all vertebrates fish have the largest number of color-producing cells-called chromatophores-in their bodies. At the genetic level, all fish have a basic “complexion” determined by the color of underlying bodily tissues and fluids. The Physiology of Fish ColorĪs with the aforementioned flamingo, the question of how ornamental fish display color boils down to a matter of genes, environment, and diet. In other words, color likely plays a role in providing the fish with a defense mechanism (whether as camouflage or as a warning to predators), attracting mates, and possibly even communicating danger and other signals to its schoolmates. Another states that coloration helps them identify members of their own species. One theory is that bright coloration gives these reef-dwellers the advantage of camouflage in an environment that is equally colorful, allowing them to “hide” from predators in plain sight among multicolored rocks, corals, and sponges. Therefore it must serve some practical survival purpose. Why are they so prodigiously and gratuitously colorful? Unlike their rather dull-colored benthic cousins, who dwell in the deeps where sunlight does not penetrate (and so color is meaningless), a reef fish has excellent eyesight and can detect the colors and patterns of its fellow inhabitants. While not perfectly understood, this variety certainly arose out of evolutionary need. The sheer variety of fish shapes, sizes, patterns, and colors is endlessly appealing. The main reason we pursue this hobby is quite simple: fish are beautiful to look at. In the modern era, one way we pay homage to that fascination is by setting up aquariums in our homes. The sea, our ultimate source of life yet still so much a mystery, has fascinated human beings since before recorded history. It has often been noted that we know more about the planets in our solar system than about the oceans on planet Earth. One of the keys in accomplishing this goal is spirulina. This Tale of the Flamingo serves to illustrate in simple form the complex biochemical mechanism that creates the equally distinctive coloration of reef and other ornamental fish-and why the serious aquarist or fish hobbyist must take special steps to ensure that the animals in their care remain so vibrantly colored in the artificial environment of an aquarium. And that is how Nature turns a white flamingo pink.įor that reason, flamingos kept in captivity must be fed a special diet-one that mimics their diet in the wild-consisting of similarly colored crustaceans such as prawns, along with supplemental “pigmenting” additives (typically beta-carotene or canthaxanthin) so that the birds retain their distinctive coloration. These molecules are subsequently absorbed into the bloodstream and then deposited in the flamingo’s feathers, legs, and bill. So that being the case, why don’t you ever see a blue or green flamingo? The answer to that question is that in the process of digestion, the bird’s liver breaks down the carotenoids into smaller pigment molecules that are pink and orange in color. So what makes them pink? In the wild, these birds feed on a combination of blue-green algae and crustaceans containing carotenoids, which are naturally occurring chemical pigments. In point of fact, flamingos are naturally white. If your answer was “pink”-you’d be wrong. Before discussing the health and aesthetic benefits of supplementing the diet of your ornamental aquarium fish with spirulina fish food, we will first pose here a trick question: “What color is a pink flamingo?” ![]()

![]() ![]() Much of what fans loved about Armored Core remain completely intact for fans to enjoy. Want to run a shield, a sword and have two rifles as your backups? Perhaps you want to run an Arsenal that’s slow, bulky, but can dish out some serious damage.Īll of these options are completely possible. Weapons can be interchanged, allowing you to choose the loadout to how you prefer combat pacing to be. The Arsenal’s even have their own forms of character editing and personalizationĪlong with character customization comes the ability to customize and even modify your Arsenal to your preference. While character editing options were limited, it’s enough to let players feel comfortable with their pilot who they will see rather often as they play. Their hair, their eyes, faces, skin color, etc, can be fully edited, letting players craft a character to their preference. It’s a feature that fans absolutely love and have requested from the Armored Core series in the past.Ĭharacters are fully customizable from the ground up. One of the biggest aspects about games like Armored Core, Monster Hunter, or any game with the slightest amount of character and or armor editing, is character creation. The same can be said for the character models – yep, we’re going to talk about those.Ĭharacter creation has been highly requested in games like these and Daemon X Machina makes it possible I still can’t help but stand at the church from time to time and look at how beautifully detailed the building actually is. Each as intricately designed as the other and each offering a different approach to every combat situation. The others were a variety of industrial sectors and city-scapes. In one, we got to see a beautifully detailed ocean of sand that served as a home to one of the demo’s bosses, a giant spider-like tank with massive laser cannons for a head that allowed its back-up drones to deploy from within it. In the Prototype Missions, we only got to see four of these locations, all of them being quite different from the other. They are gorgeous and they truly pop compared to what I had been expecting.Įach Order (sorties/missions) comes with a change of scenery. The real masterpiece here? The atmospheric designs. It’s a beautiful dance of blues, reds, oranges, and yellows at almost any given time. Then you have the atmospheres that feel both familiar and otherworldly due to the looming threat players will face off against when bullets, blades, and explosions begin to light up the sky. Mechs themselves feel as if they were pulled directly from the Armored Core universe and improved upon, blurring the lines of everything we know and love about the series that its a spiritual successor of. ![]() Everything looks as if it were directly pulled from the Macross universe with Armored Core style designs that work out rather well for the Arsenal’s (the mechs you will pilot) in Daemon X Machina.Įxplosions are big, they are beautiful, and the details to everything is almost perfect. A beautiful one that works rather well if I were to be completely honest. ![]() Now, on the Nintendo Switch, Daemon X Machina steps away from that photo-realistic look and trades it in for an anime-style appearance. The style translated rather well into the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 titles and offered one of the best-looking mech franchises to date. Armored Core has always been known for its art style, a pseudo-realistic approach to what their series has to offer. The reason I bring up the art style first is for a very good reason. So let’s talk.Īrtistically, nothing’s changed, but graphically – a lot has changed Luckily for us, Nintendo and the team behind the game has released an official demo for the upcoming title and now, we’ve had a chance to see just how close to Armored Core a single game can be. With the two together, something unexpected has been in the works by the name of Daemon X Machina, a Nintendo Switch exclusive that is expected to launch later this year. For years, the series fell into silence, but in that silence, magic has been happening as former Armored Core developer Kenichiro Tsukuda has been hard at work with Macross designer Shōji Kawamori. To say the least, the final two were not well received by long-time Armored Core fans due to their departure from everything that made Armored Core great. In the following generation, we were given four different titles, each of them a far cry from the series we’d come to know and love as they followed through with their focus of online gaming. Since the era of the PlayStation 2, I’ve been waiting for what I could call a true Armored Core successor, one that follows through with what we felt Armored Core was capable of. Daemon X Machina Prototype Missions is a limited-time demo that’s available on the Nintendo eShop and gives fans of games like Armored Core a chance to really dive deep into one of the most ambitious titles for the Nintendo Switch yet. ![]() ![]() ![]() He has been described as a player that others fear going up against – especially in a one vs. He was just twenty years old when he won his first world championship title, in 2021, and he has refused to slow down since then.
