COLORS ARE BAD IN THIS PIC BUT HERE WE GO!

if you moved it out from the shade so it could receive more light the blue in the clam would come out more and be worth more

its a gigas btw.

 

[Brad-DA]

Should this clam be on the rock or sand?

 

[Freed]

Haha, mines bigger!!! 11"x8"x 10lbs. er so

most are on the sand, get him into the light a little better and it should color up more.

large giga's fetch a higher price than most clams.

If it were mine and I wanted to sell it I would post it on ebay with a starting bid of $100 and see what happens. Just plan on having to ship it.

do youguys think that 500w mh and 48w t5 is tooo much light for him in a 46 bow front?

Never too much light..... He is partly shaded and needs to be moved out into the light more.... Pretty nice looking though....

 

[Brad-DA]

i did move him from shade ! he does seem to be happy!
this clam is up for sale .. he is too big for my tank..

 

[skinz78]

look on ebay right now there is 2 large derasa's on there for sale. the prices should let you know what an approximate value is.
