My Squamosa Clam

Figured I'd post some pics of my Squamosa, it's been growing good (about 1/2" in 2.5 month !!!)
Enjoy !

I love squamosas. I think gigas and squamosa are my favs.

 

I hope you have it in a large tank.
My 3" squamosa turned into a 12" plus size with mantel extension of 16" and still growing.
Now, I can't find anyone around me with a large enough tank that would want it.

 

Sell/trade it to your LFS. Luna

 

thanks guys !
rayjay, how long did it take to reach that size ? I got mine around 2" long, it's now about 2.5", still feeding phyto to the tank

 

too bad your not closwer to me i have been looking for a large clam!

 

LFS doesn't want my clam because they don't have the demand for one that size.
I got the squamosa in 2004 but I don't remember what month.

 

Not even in one of they're display tanks? Luna

 

Of the 3 stores here in London, only two have display tanks that might be large enough if it doesn't grow any more, but there is certainly no room without removing a lot of what they have in them already.
They will take it off my hands if I give it to them, but they won't pay for it.
I had one offer from someone in Toronto for $50, but I would have to deliver it. 2 hours each way and about $25 worth of gas so I don't think so.
I have been waiting a long time, and probably will have to wait a lot longer, but I believe that eventually I'll find it a new home, hopefully before I need the tank for more seahorses.
Maybe I can talk a restaurant into getting a reef tank and make it large enough to sell them the clam.
