	Some gold maximas look a lot like B&Ws when they are young. Their gold colour develops as the clam grows. I've been unsuccessfully looking for a true B&W maxima in Canada for years now. If it is in fact a true B&W maxima then this is big news (at least for me).  |

			 I've only owned 4 clams...One lasted 13+ years, another 4 years, one only 2 months and the last is still going at 4 years.  I've never fed them specifically.  I don't know what I could conclude from that...
