Very excited for this order!!:mrgreen:

You gotta believe it, took long enough to get all the permits for them

no kidding!!!! do you have aprox pricing for us keeners?!

Love those black with blue striped ones.

*whimper*

^^^^^

Are you guys willing to ship to Vancouver?
What is pricing going to be for the Maxima's?

Pricing?

What about the rics?

Things are settling down for me finally, I have contacted my Florida Ric supplier, and will get that going shortly.

We (BWA & The Reef Shoppe) have been negotiating to get this order for a long time and have have these clams put aside for a little time now.

We will try to sell them WYSWYG as much as possible once we get them in our stores, and arrange shipping to those out of town.

Pricing will listed as soon as I get a chance to work out all expenses (Shipping, USFW, CITES, etc..), and will also offer quantity discounts.

Ken

Your hitting all the right notes.

Could someone clue me in on what "WYSWYG" means

What you see is what you get

Very nice. I'm interested

As we have said, we have CITES up to 75 clams, 18 derasa, and 57 maxima.

Most are pictured above, no guarentees on actual clams until we get them in our grubby little hands.

We want to maximize the usage of this CITES so we will take pre-orders as soon as we work out pricing. Should be by tomorrow.

This will be a sweet order. Here are couple of other pictures of the Tridacna maxima Clams:

Cheers

ill take 50 :wink::wink:

NICE!!
Those look fantastic.

heh, I bet you would like that! :mrgreen:

You know how long I have been trying to get these in, I think as far back as FF2

Subscribed. I've been after a Derasa for months.

I am in actual physical discomfort looking at the pictures. To be honest you had me at "Cook Islands".

One time I wish I was in Edmonton .. hahahaha.

Let me know if anyone from the island, mainly Victoria, gets in on this. Might want to jump aboard. Thanks.

Is there any way to get on a list to be in on a primo clam?

Interested but a bit uneasy on the small size of them.

Where did it say the size? Did I miss that?

Second post...1.5" to 2"

Yep totally missed that lol thanks

Whats the ball park figure for these clams ?
gotta start emptying or filling my swear jar !

these are quite stunning - but looks a bit smaller in size :) Remember to feed

I'd guess $150

*Gulps*
wow... time to sell off some limbs ! :D

Actually they will be under $150.


We have postponed the clam order for 1 week due to the varying temperatures.

The less we lose as DOA's (If any), the less you pay.

BTW our current stock of clams have been dropped 20% more from our already low prices.

Thanks for the update Ken.

Fantastic prices, rebate incentives and FREE foods too? :surprise:

I plan to post some of the T. Maxima Gold and T. Derasa Clam pictures later today.

I'm interested to see what the Derasa's look like. Can't say I've seen a blue rim Derasa before.

will be similar to the ORA ones.
