    Thumbs up New additions from BarryN

    I thought I would post a pics of new clams I recieved today.First, I was afraid that Fedex screwed up and forgot to deliver my clams this morning as they're usualy ring the bell like 10-10:30am.Comes noon and still no clams and I was getting antsy so I called Barry and he tracked it for me and sure enough they arrived but 2:30 in the afternoon.I opened the bags hesitant to smell something awfull but thanks to Barry's good packing job-all is well .
    First pic a squamosa about 5".

    Great looking clams!!

    I received one today as well and FedEx did not call. I like to have mine held for pick up and in the past they have always called as soon as they have it ready to go out. Fnally I just drove out there and sure enough it was sitting there ready to go. Never had a problem with FedEx in the past, must just be one of those days I guess.

    Gene, SWEET!! Those are very nice clams. I don't think it looks like it is gapping, look how happy it is. The mantle is so nicely extended. Ya'll got me scared now, my clams will be here friday and FedEx had better pick it up. I am usually the first one on the delivery list so here's hoping they are right on schedule.

    Gene, those really are nice.

    you got it for me and I thank you.The Rock is in another tank and lights went out before I could snap an update of him.
    My daughter said it's the cutest little clam she'd seen

    They open up larger when they get bigger. Seem to be a very hardy clam.
