Clam Wanted

[David1025]

Does anyone have one for sale or know of any local stores in the east valley that has a good selection that's not extremely high priced

I know salt water junkies had two maximas earlier in the week. That is where I got my derasa.

I know the Petco on Stapley and Baseline had a gold ORA Dersa clam about 3" I picked one up and it's beautiful

Thanks guys I will check them out

Picked up my reef stew earlier and they were still there. Granted SWJ is in the west valley the whole trip is on the freeway for the most part.

Y'all are letting them know where the clams are but not informing them of their real question. What are the prices?

Wow petco I have never purchased any livestock there have you or anyone ever have before and what was the outcome

 

[SnoopyDaPimp]

That is a nice looking Derasa. I have bought a few things from Petco. Since SWJ opened down the street from me I haven't gone there since. When I did get stuff I would get there when the shipments came in and took it straight to my house to acclimate.

 

[David1025]

Ok cool thanks a ton everyone

Man prices have gone up, I remember just 5-6 years ago getting all kinds of clams for half that price.

I heard prices jumped because of a hurricane that destroyed a clam farm somewhere near the Philippines.

 

[David1025]

Ya I used to get beautiful maxima for about 60 at least 4 inches some even closer to 5 or 6

 

[fishntyme1]

Did you ever hear any reasons for the price increase?
