new clams,again

[zhenya]

Like the topic said,just got three clams from Barry(thanks dude).Arrived in great shape and went in already .Just wanted to share some pics of them with all of you clam lovers.Here's first...squamosa

[zhenya]

And a maxima...

[zhenya]

The third clam is gigas and I don't have to post a pic as you've seen them before.It was actualy a clam for a friend of mine,but my Coris wrasse bit the chunk off of the excurrent syphon the minute it was placed in the tank,so I have to keep it now The best thing is,I got so mad that I spent all morning chasing that bad @ss and finally cought him.He's in the LFS looking for a new home.I spent two yrs trying to catch this fella and now that he's got so bold,I finally got him.No more wrasses for me,atleast not this type(coris aygula).

Oh heck,one more of the maxima

Gene,

Love the markings on the squamosa!

Sooo... you have HOW many clams spread between 2 tanks now???

And you have 2!!! Gigas now, right?

You are getting almost as bad as Peterlin! (OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration).


Which one is your absolutely most fabulous favorite???

Hi Rebecca,
I'm no where near Peter on the clams but I have a few.My favorite clams of all was a teardrop I had for like three days before it died.After that it has got to be a derasas as they're tougher then nails.Gigas are getting up there as well,heck I can't really say wich one is absolute favorite,I like all of them;)

Barry,I got a CaCO3 reactor hooked up now so this beast can suck it up all they want .

What I really need is a monstrous size tank

[Barry N.]

Well if your lovely wife hadn't made you do all that major work in the bathroom with that imported sink and tolet then you could have had that HUGH tank. LOL

The funy thing is,it's not the money Barry but the space I have none to spare.Now,if my daughter would get married and move,I would have plenty of space then,but I rather have her and the baby next to me;)
The bathroom did come out pretty goood I must say

Gene -

Thanks for posting pictures. I see that you are becoming a clam-holic.

I LOVE your bathroom sink! It is so modern looking.

Can you e-mail me privately on where you get the bathroom sink? I'm also working on remodeling bathroom. Too bad it is so small - otherwise I'm sure I can setup an aquarium there. :-)

Hi Peter

Glad you like my bath,I did some hard work there,from drywalling to plumbing and tile setting The only thing I did not do is painting,I hate that
I got this sink localy from a supplyer of imported fixtures.I'll email you the name of the place and the phone number,they might shipp where you are;)

PS.Regarding the size,You could always make salad there insted of clams

[zhenya]

OK,just took a pic of the damage that this crazy wrasse inflicted on a Gigas clam, see for yourself...

I hope it can regrow the missing part of the syphon.There is no one else left to bother my clams anymore.
