My 14" Derasa Spawned got pics
- Thread starter NAGA
- Start date
The clam spawned after I moved it about a foot from it's original position. It was in that position for about a year without being touched and it seems that it stressed out about 30minutes after I moved it and spawned. Sad thing is that it took me 10 minutes before I realized that he was not just settling into his new spot
I ran to get the camera at that point and started to take pics from above and infront of the tank. Pretty amazing stuff I think........I never thought I'd ever see a clam spawn
The clam spawned for about an hour (must have taken his Viagra ) The skimmer went crazy and I immediately went to change the carbon. As I mentioned I have a 750 gallon and this clam clouded up the tank BIG TIME! I can only imagine if this had happened in a smaller system. My concern of course is the small population of acros that I have in the tank. As of this morning though they seem to be fine.
If anyone would like a larger file size pic of this just email me a jeffhaddock@comcast.net and I will send a better quality pic.

In case anyone wants to know:
This is a Derasa clam that has been in captivity for all of 8yrs.
I measured it about a month ago and is just a smidge under 14"
I would say it weighs about 12lbs estimate.
It never has done this before but, is a very active clam in the tank. If you stand behind the tank you have a good chance of getting wet. It has shot water 3ft. above the tank and that's with it about two inches below the surface.
