Hammer,
Those pictures of the BIG gigas thank you (sceen saver)! I haven't shown you my private reserve!
Jim

 

[Hammer]

Yes, those two gigas were beautiful!

And maybe I need to make another trip over there!
If I keep this up I will have a tank about half as good as yours! lol.

It was a surprise to find some excellent and healthy animals at this place.

There are some pictures (some pretty bad ones as well), of the whole place. Lots of fun. But the camera died when I got to the mostly reef part

 

[toptank]

Hammer, you forgot to look in his bedroom He has a tank in there as well.

Barry.

 

[jim norris]

Barry,
Your are RIGHT! Waterbed (salt).

 

[toptank]

Remember what I said about the clam hanging off your lip, well it would REALLY hurt if it was to hang off something else hehehe

 

[jim norris]

Barry,
Your advise is well taken! (if I can stop laughing) I will start sleeping on my back!
Jim

Jim this might be a weird question, but are all those clams that are black with blue stripes considered "Black and Blue" Maximas?

Are they rarer than the regular ones.

I have a super super turquoise, a really weird black and gold one, and a black with blue striped one (like your pictures).

I got them pretty cheap off of someone who was getting rid of their tank, but generally How much do the black and blue ones go for?

I honestly have no idea.

The really bright turquoise is about 3" now.

The black and blue and the black and gold are the smallest ones, almost a couple inches and growing.

Thanks
