happy clams *pic

here is a shot of my deressa and crocea- the dressa is 8 to 9 inches

 

Very nice looking clams, congrats

 

thank you- they are two of my favorites.

 

Very nice! That Deresa is huge! How long did it take for it to get that size? Or did you buy it that size?

 

well when I got him about 1 year 7 mos ago he was about 5-6 inches, I dont know what it is that I do but clams and I seem to get along pretty well- perhaps the fact he host' a pair oc perc. clowns helps, I am not sure.

Also note my clams are in a well lighted enviroment, I use a lot of atinics 470, 454 and two fiji pink (420) and a two 6.5k bulbs, there are only 4 - non agressive (including the clown pair- they protect both clams with a level of ferosity you wouldnt belive) there is a yellow watchman gobbie and a dragon gobie in this tank, and a decent size CUC.

I only add calicum once a week, and I feed phyto plex, mico vert and, zoo plex twice a week. I add iodine once every two weeks. that's it- thats all I do.

I hope you have the same results I have.

 

Thanks for the reply
I hope to get a clam in a few months once my LFS gets them in!
Probably a Deresa

 

well I wish you sucess, If you ever come across a black and white maxima- let me know

I bid on one that was on ebay a few weeks ago- it went for over 200 bucks and was only 3 inches- I went to 150 but then my senses returned to me- 49 dollars shipping plus 200 OUCH.

 

Yea not the most pleasant hit on your wallet
Haha I will let you know....That is if I dont snatch it for myself.
LOL You should check live aquaria's Diver's Den section and ThatFishPlace.com for the
B & W Maxima though! I have seen some pretty awesome clams on both sites with huge selections.
I am waiting for my LFS to get one because he does not charge me a penny for shipping.
