Tear drops Maxima are from Viet Nam. They are striking, unusual and beautiful clams. Many of us have being disappointed because they did not live very long in our tank, even when the very best conditions were provided. I was talking to an importer of these clams last weekend. He stated that there are problems with collection of these clams. The reason why most if not all of them died is that the collectors just ripped them off of the rocks instead of cut the byssal threads and remove the clams or take the rock with the clams.
Please everybody, if you are going to spend the money and buy one of the tear drops Maxima, please, please make sure that they have healthy byssal attachments. You can demand that the clams be attach to a piece of rock before you buy it. If you donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t, you will be disappointed because you will soon have a dead clam as many people reported.
The only way we can change the harvesting methods is by exert pressures from our end. If you donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t do this, you will soon be very disappointed as many of us find out.
I wanted to alert this to everybody so that we stop the wastes of these beautiful clams. It was estimated by the same importer that the mortality of these clams are well over 90% as is. He took a huge loss in import these clams so have not done this again for quite a while.
