clams for sale

[Hens4Fish]

I have two clams for sale. Great clams, but my tang turned carnivore and I want them to have a proper home. They are both great and in perfect health. I have had them for about 9 months and can see good shell growth on both. I am looking for $45 for the crocea and $40 for the derasa. Sizes are Crocea is 3 inches. Derasa 2 3/4 inches. I measured their shells at night, so when they extend they are significantly larger. Here are some pics..

Also, the crocea looks flourescent green from above. Let me know if you want more pics. Also no shippinh

I'm interested in the Derasa, but not at this price. Liveaquaria has the 2-1/2 inch for $32.99 and I thought private trades would have been even cheaper.

Also, your Derasa doesn't look so good to me in the picture (the siphons & mantle looked weird). Could you please post more pics?

At last, can I ask how far away are you from Madison area? I'm trying to avoid spending $20 on gas to pick up a clam...

Thanks!

Hey,
Thanks for the interest. I bought the derasa from live aquaria for that price over a year ago and when they say 2 1/2 it means when the clam is extended and that is the largest it comes. I was just measuring the shell. Mine has doubled in size in the last year, so I am relatively sure it is quite bigger than the live aquaria one. I would go to $33 to match it though. As for my derasa looking heathy. The syphon looks like that because it is sitting on the sand, sideways. That picture was taken 3 months ago, and the clam looks very healthy today still. I will get more pics of him though. He has never really extended his mantle like the crocea, I am not sure if that is normal in derasas or not, but like I said he has very good shell growth so he must be healthy. Lastly, I live in Oshkosh, which I think is about an hour to 1 1/2. Hope this helps. PM with e-mail for better pics.
Thanks Bill
