Crazy for Clams

[NAS]

Yup,

it really a marked improvement. There were some side effects, biggest of all was that the majority of my mushroom's crawled to the under side of the rocks, so they are harder to see now. but still the key is that the Clams are the focus.

I was down in vancouver last week... on the way out I poped into the aquarium. They have a spectacular gigas specium there. I want it, LOL

my clam tank is better though....
So it has re-kindled my gigas goal of a large clam tank.. I am considering collapsing my tang/ angel tank and selling it to front a much larger tank... Wooo, i am actually anquishing on this.


In any event, I agin am at a turning point for my clam tank. Things are gettin too big now and starting to interfere with each outher. I am stittin at over an inch and a half growth since february 2008 on my squamosa. Every thing else except the large crocea are showing strong growth.

I am going to re-decorate the tank structure soon, and possibly cull some of the rock from the tank...

I will have before and after pics.

I have finally managed to re-do my tank to give the clams a little more space. They are still overlaping each other...But at least they have enough room to fully open up. I had a frog spawn fall off a piece of rock and smoke one of my really small crocea's.

Still no word on a gigas. Geesh.

I am one step closer to figuring out what im doing with my Clam tank.

Regretfully, my camera that was just fixed craped out again.

Little longer for pics to come

Had seepman over for a beer on the weekend. He planted a thought on my clam tank that has stuck. A large shallow flats style tank. Im thinking 18 inches bul long and 24 front to back.

Thinkin it's going to be a custom self made thing.... Not 100% on that though. Still lamenting on it.

I am in dire need of some pepermint shrimp. Any one seen any around?

Glad I could give you some ideas. The tank is looking great given the limited amount of space you have. I think the shallow tank would look great with that clam forest you've been working on.

hmm...I haven't seen any peppermints locally for quite a while. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.

The polka dot one is amazing!! I always thought crocea needed to be on a rock, but all yours are in the sand...do you have anything under them? I am really new to keeping clams, and would love to have some of the amazing ones like you have

Okay am I blind or something? I'm not seeing any photos!

I'm also looking for a gigas and I've had no luck. However if I do luck out, I have a friend that travels to and from Vernon regularly that could probably bring a clam out to you if one could be arranged.

Read any good clam papers since the last time?

Yeah sorry I'm with Michika. All I see is blah blah blah wish you could see this because it's so awesome, but you can't, nyah nyah, blah blah blah no pictures blah blah blah.
