Crazy for Clams

NAS · #1 06-28-2009, 10:09 PM

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?

ok, Fair enough. My camer has really crapped out! Honestly. Here is what im going to do though.... I will get my buddy to come over and take some pics and I will post them.

I have a shipment That i am I am picking up today. On it are three new clams...

.

In preperation, I just re-did the tank again. This time changing the sup strate as well. They are all much happier.

Sorry I have not resplonded sooner. If I can track down any Giggas I wil Private message you all. I have a supplier who sees them from time to time.

For now you all have to look at the earlier pics. :P

As far as the Crocea on a rock.... nope. Only one of mine has stayed attached as of this date. They all drop off at about 3 inches. Then settle in the substrate. Mind you, My tank is well lit and shallow.
