Nice looking crocea brett thanks for adding it

Here are some of my clams today from older pics skinz posted. My avatar shows them about a year and half ago. The squammy was much bigger than the derasa then, but not any more! The derasa has dwarfed the squammy. And the squammy has nearly doubled in size itself. The urchin is easily 3" across for scale.

Here's a picture of a recent find. Much larger than my previous teardrop at almost 6".

Hi,
Do ya know where this clam came from? I mean which country.
Amazing TD.

skinz78 · 02/19/2008, 09:44 PM

I am not sure where it may have come from but I think all teardrops are wild caught. I would have to guess viet nam???

A couple of year back the green and blue tear drops were coming from Solomon Islands, but now they stopped exporting wild clams.

Im looking for one of those green/ blue tear drops for long time now.

Here are a few shots of some of my previous clams.
Enjoy!

This is of my current Maxima. (Kept under 100% VHO lighting) pic is kinda burned out. It is not that electric but still very bright blue.

At Harbor Aquatics in their 4'x4' clam display. They usually had 75-200 clams at any given time.

Deresa and Hippo (barely can see it on the left) These were my favorite filter feeders. Hippos were cheap and kinda dull but great additions for my clam collection at the time.

My first maxima ever. Bought it as a gold for $20.

edit:

dunno why its not letting me post pics hosted on n-r.com

melev · 03/19/2008, 01:53 PM

I just picked up two new clams for my nano tank.

skinz78 · 03/19/2008, 04:28 PM

ez, rc is funny like that. I tried to post my pic's hosted on here to another site and it wouldn't let me.

Nice clams melev

You guys are getting me to thinking about trying to take some pic's of my new clams and post them.

skinz78 · 03/19/2008, 09:13 PM

black and gold, and purple and blue maxima's

yelllow spot squamosa, holes are almost healed

3" gold crocea, it ate my clown fish 3 weeks ago

4" cammo squammie

3" cammo squammie

3" bright green with blue rim and blue spot squammie and 2" blue maxima, sorry the pic doesn't do them justice.

2" black and white maxima, not zebra stripe but I'll take it. Sorry about the pic, I had alot of glare from the lights. I need a better cam and a viewing box.

If you have more clam pic's to share or updates to give please do it. If you know anyone with cool clams have them add pics too PLEASE.......

Awesome Clams

great thread!!! here are a couple shots

ezcompany · 03/21/2008, 03:30 PM

awesome! is the first maxima a b/w?
skinz, your green squammie is crazy looking!

skinz78 · 03/21/2008, 04:48 PM

ROBZ, I am envious. Your clams and tank are awesome

EZ, Thanks, I still can't beleve I actually passed it up once. I got it from my lfs which is a hour and a half drive away. I was there about a month ago and saw the clam and thought is was kind of plain looking so I passed it up. Then last week when I tore my whole tank apart and finally caught my snowflake eel I decided to take it over to the lfs. The clam was still there and they traded me the eel strait across for it. It looks much better under my light that it did there.

Siffy · 04/06/2008, 06:50 PM

Thought I'd bump this thread and post a few shots I've taken.

Not the best shots and I have no way to take a top down, but thought I'd share mine. My first clam was a hippopus and a mistake purchase to throw in a nano. I know I have a bad picture of it somewhere but can't find it right now.

This is my 2nd clam, ~2.5" Deresa that I've had since late Jan 2008.

I actually took a bunch of pics the other night and threw several into a slideshow, which I think will work on here.

This Crocea belongs to c_stowers, I just took the tank pics for him

Last, tank/light information.

My clam is 4-5" off the bottom of a 29g with a 175w 14K Iwasaki Aqua2 MH with 2x 75watt VHO UV Lighting/URI Super Actinics

c_stowers's tank is a 120g with 2x250w SE 14K Hamilton MH with 2x110watt VHO UV Lighting/URI Super Actinics
