What makes a teardrop a teardrop?

[husker267]

Is it the orgin of the clam, the type, or it's coloring?

The teardrops, give the teardrop the name teardrop... See the droplets? Look like teardrops, hence the name " Teardrop Maxima".

blahahahaha... True!!!

It's not mine anymore, I needed to sell it for cash to maintain my tank.. I'm a poor 15 year old! However, I have a nice 8 inch Ultra Crocea I bought to make up for it, I only payed 50 dollars... I'll post a pic and about it later so take a look if you wish to...

 

[bergzy]

yeah, that would be great. where are you getting these incredible prices? $50 for an 8" ultra crocea. c'mon, spill the beans!

 

[lebowski]

I have the hook-ups..

This particular piece ( crocea ) I had ordered for me by a pal I know in the wholesalers.. It's truly a nice piece.

My teardrop I got from Anthony held onto it for me for 2 weeks or so, and gave me a good deal on it..

Bergzy,
Anthony's site is http://www.aquadesignz.com/

Right now he has a "Golden Teardrop" for sale. I've seen this clam in person, and it seems more brown than gold , but it should color up with strong lighting and good water conditions.

No, the name comes from peoples' reaction when they see the price tag. Right?

 

[lebowski]

Vili, no I really did sell it.. I needed money to maintain the tank.. I had 2 cents in my pocket, and my teardrop was great, but nothing I couldn't live without..

 

[Vili_Shark]

what are the prices for tear drops in the states?

Here is a pic of the Golden/ Red TearDrop that I got from AquaProp.com. Great looking clam. It was alittle bleached in the middle when I received it but the color is coming back.

This is my favor clam!!!!
