They are alittel big for me, and starting at 250 alittel pricey. But worth it for that size clam. I guess Im wanting a 6 inch or less,

Well Ive called around the country and looked at every dealer I could find on the internet. I cant find a gigas less than 8 inches in the USA.

Let me know if you guys see one. Thanks
 
I have a little 2" gigas that my LFS got in. Might want to talk to your LFS and see if they can get you one. Also, might want to email ORA.

I've had mine for about 4 years now bought it at 6" now over 16" . If you don't have a setup for this clams growth I would pass on buying it. I have ahalf of a 24" clam. It is heeeeavy.

Currentking, any pics of that blue gigas? Enjoy all

Jesus! I got mine for $50 from a LFS, guess the market has gone up a bit!
 
stoney, a gigas and a blue gigas are 2 different rarities. Blues are very hard to come by. hence they will be more money

I guess it has I saw online at pet warehouse they had a menu with smalls Gigas for $12 mediums for $17 and large for $30. I called to oreder some and they laughed at me when I told them the price they had online, they said that it needed to be updated. Duh. They wanted like $90 for a small now.

If you got an eight inch blue gigas for $50 bucks you got a bargin.

I got mine at http://www.coralreeffarm.com/store.php?cat=26

Its off Stirling Rd by 95.

King your clam and mine could be twins. Must have come from the same place in the sea. Do you know where they came from, all my guy could tell me is he got it from a supplyer in LA.

Id like to see a pic of what you guys consider a "Bue" Gigas. Mine looks axactly like what you guys have, Blue from the side, green from a top down shot. A Blue Squamie is one thing but Blue Gigas sounds like marketing hype. So lets see this rare Blue Gigas from the top down?
 
FROM THE TOP DOWN

FROM THE TOP DOWN

Here is a blue Gigas. picture taken from the top down.
The focus is blurry because of the rippels on top of the water. I did the best I could.
Click to see a bigger picture. The more you click it the bigger it gets.

Looks like green dots to me. I was looking at mine last night and the dots look blue from the top unless I put my 150w pendant right over top of the clam, then they look green. Im not convinced, I hate the clam market. Black and white Maximas are so frickin cheap in Europe, here? Hundreds. Some stores in town sell 2" Maximas for $80, but go a few miles away and another store is selling 4" ultra max for $50. Crazyness to say the least.
