Hidden Reef

nice haul...

[Seth]

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.


I got the bright colored one on the right

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

[Seth]

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

They look like Croceas. Any Maximas there?

[Seth]

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.

[Samw]

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.
