nice haul...

Went down to Hidden Reef today afternoon to look at the clams. It was my first time there. The store was nice and the staff was very friendly!

They had a big tank with 4 sections of clams, here's some pictures of only 1 section.

The clam seems a bit big for my measly 20 gallon but I had to get it. Side view of the clam at home:

My tank is rockin now but my wallet is taking a bangin

whats the price around for one of these baby

Depends on the quality
It ranges from $129 down to like 50-60 i forgot.

They look like Croceas. Any Maximas there?

i'm assuming maximas are the smaller kind?
i dont think they had any but you should ask jason (the hidden reef guy) to make sure.

Actually, Maximas grow larger than Croceas. Croceas are one of the smallest of the giant clams. 14" for Maxima vs 9" for Crocea.

Picked this crocea up today. Should really take a pic from above the tank, but here it is.

Hey Tom R,
The pics that I have seen so far look pretty good, and $129 - $50 seem quite reasonable for clams of that grade. Come to Calgary for a visit and check out the shops. Any of us here would be ecstatic to have high price, and low quality like that.
