OK here it goes, In all literature it stands that maxy clams can grow up to impressive size, just bit smaller than squamosa (1' or something) , but frankly I never saw any much bigger than mine
OK 1-2" bigger yes, but not really monster clam that could be compared with big squamosa clams I see so often, like this one in friend's aquarium
most maximas I see in retail shops are aquacultured imports which are sent to market as soon they approach 2-4" size ( goods for different customers dependent on how much money is one willing to spend.. )
Further more most of em perish in aquariums within year-two but few grow to some 10" and are then sold for big $$$$$$..
just because I haven't seen any huge one it certainly doesn't mean there aren't big ones in other tanks but somehow I disbelieve that.. plz. show me some pics and prove me wrong.
