![]() When I left the hobby about 4-5 years ago I used to see clams for sale a lot. Since I have been back for about 5-6 months...I have never seen a single one for sale. I really only visit one LFS regularly though (J&L) so maybe that is part of the reason. I'm sure the export ban from Indonesia ( I assume it also bans clams) is another but that happened months after I was back in the hobby.
Am I just really unlucky and missing them at shops or is there a reason? |

![]() yea they are becoming harder to come by now,
Indonesia has never issued Cites to export clams as far as i know so the current situation there will have no effect on clams. J&L will be re stocked soon with some Crocea Last edited by Myka; 06-13-2018 at 11:43 PM. |

![]() The primary reason is new restrictions on importation making them more expensive and risky to import.
Clams from some areas I believe are banned altogether. Lots of discussion on this site regarding CITES, etc as to why. King Ed's has some questionable looking ones. Expensive but they might color up nicely.

![]() No, they're still easy to get. Just no store wants to stock 50+ pcs of clams to sell the 3-4/month that's been trending for the last five years.
