Tridacna Crocea

[Delphinus]

Thanks for the picture. It seems fair to say then that that the clams have grown significantly in last few years! It's hard to guage by a picture but I'm guessing that the clams must have been closer to the 2" - maybe 2 - 1/2 " range for starters.

The reason I ask, is, I've gone on the DT's diet and in six months I've lost $300. And it doesn't seem to guarantee that the baby clams will have any better luck succeeding into adulthood.

Sooo .... I think I'm through with ordering small clams. Next one (if there ever is a next one) it will be a larger specimen ... one that relies on photosynthesis more than feeding, rather than the other way around. Too much trouble, and too much expense to be constantly dumping in DT's at any daily amounts significant to sustain the clams. Maybe if a person grew their own Nannochloropsis spp. it would be somewhat more economical.
