Clams closed up

[Markk96]

Well it is all our fault, so we are out of luck. Maybe I will dispute it with my CC company.

What would upset me most and I'm sure is the major problem here, are the clams that have been in tanks for years that are now getting PM. Very sad to hear and see.

 

[bigmayreefer]

im just going to keep dipping as they show definate symptoms untill they eventually get over it or die.

15 days after a two hour RO bath, my large Derasa is still not showing signs of PM......(Knock on wood).

My blue Maxima has been out of QT and in my display for almost 3 weeks and appears to have completely recovered (Knock on Wood)

 

[stealyourhouse]

My maxima is showing increased signs of PM. I'm going to have to do another FW dip.

Does anybody know if every clam in the batch was affected? Or were there a few that showed no issues?

 

[rbnice1]

mine showed no signs of PM then disintegrated in 2 days. My other clam in the same tank still looks fine.

On my 2 clams I would rate one at pretty good condition and one at fair condition. They are still hanging in there.

Well, this was a bad memory One year ago and change we all bought clams from Barry at clamsdirect.com. I have one clam left alive from that shipment that I dipped about 10 times and it just hung in there. All the other clams died.

Anyone else have clams alive from this shipment? Anyone else ordered from Barry again? I try to spread the word on this vendor whenever I can

 

[breutus]

OMG AND WOW lol this one must have really sat with ya nook I don't know if I have ever seen you hold a grudge so hard :lol:

Sadly though After seeing this back when It happened I doubt I could ever order from barry again But I still to this day have my doubts on some of it. I had ordered from him many many times and never even heard of anything like this, I simply fear the ones from this shipment got to hot or cold or stressed during delivery and everyone panicked. Either way it left a bad taste...

On the side note it seems that rbnice's survived until his tank meltdown a month or two ago. His was one of the only ones that never saw a freshwater dip to, if I remember correctly...

 

[rbnice1]

Mine died 2 days after I got it lucas and no mine was never dipped.

My dersa I bought from andy's lived till my tank crashed.


Edit: And no I have not bought from him and prob will not again. I did pick up a beautiful clam at the swap tho. Time will tell how it does.

Did you get that with butter? If so I want some.:spin1:

 

[jbarone]

One I sold a couple of weeks back was from that buy. QT and medicated for 2 weeks after I got. Did very well after that. The other I got from that buy died.

Did you read the thread?

Barry is changing his tune in the VE Forum:

I am going to put a picture up of my dead clam shells on that thread and the other clams that are still dying. I am hoping these actions will show others that dealing with this vendor is risky at best as he did nothing to make our situation right.

Yes I did and was just asking a question.

 

[Nanook]

This was a group buy by members of the SLASH Club and all feedback was and is welcomed. This was not a LFS (local fish store), in case you missed that point

 

[chadfarmer]

mine didnt make it but last week got a blue and a gold maxima from a local store

 

[frenchie]

i've never spent more than 40 bucks on a clam and i got all mine locally.
i have deresa, squamosa, and gold tear drop maxima, all are healthy and gettin big.
