my new maxima!

[smokinreefer]

since that disease thing last summer, or atleasst thats my theory, wiped out all my clams...
i got a derasa a few months ago that is doing well, so ithought it was time to start stocking nice clams again...
so for my birthday, i got this nice blue max.

thats a nice one.....how big is it?

oh yea, happy b-day

 

[smokinreefer]

thanks guys!

i would guess this guy is just over 2" long.

are you planning on feeding it? a clam that small needs to be fed something like dt's.

 

[smokinreefer]

actually no, i do not plan on feeding it.
i do realize that smaller clams require feedings, but from my experience, clams of this size do not rely on feeding as much as they do light. BTW, this clam is actually closer to 3".

i have had success with clams of this size and larger in the past, but they got wiped out last year by that infamous clam disease.
(atleast that is what i believe), whereas i did not have success with the little clams you find available that are < 2". which i agree with you and believe they rely more on feeding, which is exactly why i dont want to buy those little buggers!

I wouldn't mind feeding a baby clam...they're just so dar cute!!!
