I assume from acro al? I would go for that in a heartbeat if it's from him, but I don't have the room. $300 for a true aquacultured 4" blue squammy is a pretty good deal IMO.

those really are gorgeous.

acro al does some awesome work. i wish he didn't live halfway around the world from me.

If only I had a better job and a savings. Lol

wow! $50 more per inch... that gets expensive fast!

They are nice, but increasingly not rare as aquaculturing focusses on growing out the blue ones. Five years ago you couldn't get them at all; five years from now I bet they end up being quite common.

Yeah, before the reason for the high cost is you might see one blue one enter the hobby a year. It will go down with time. Now, if we could only convince them to start culturing gigas again...

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

Awesome blues,I agree they need to aquaculture gigas.

Me three! I still rue the day that I sold my yellow/green gigas. Never occurred to me they would become unobtainium.

Blue Squamosa Clam

I would love to have a blue squamosa. Not sure about gigas though as thats definitely a 'pond' creature！ cannot be contained by tanks! By the way- sad news 2 of the 3 30 year old gigas clams died in Waikiki Aqauarium recently. I have heard rumors of administrative issue at that place, and witnessed some sick fish in my recent visit. I am going to write to the director, and UH to find ways to improve the facility's management

Probably my favorite gigas video ....

Have anyone tried to contact Clam Mania? I looked everywhere on their website for their contact info but there's none. Had to google them and ended up on their facebook. Called the number and only get an answer machine.
