First, this is not about proving someone wrong Ms. Kyrie, it's about wether or not this is a durasa clam or not based on the picture that you provided. It's as simple as that.
Secondly, I'm not convinced that it is a crocea, I am however, convinced that it is not a durasa based on the picture, mantle color and mantle pattern.
Thirdly, you haven't tried nor convinced me of anything. All you have said is that it's not a crocea since you have PC lighting and it hasn't died in your tank. You have not said why it's a durasa either!
Fourthly, what do you have against Virginians, are you really that narrow-minded? |
Well Dentrite,
It's not a "durasa"; it's a derasa and that's how the rest of the country spells it too. I'm not a woman; I'm a man. You haven't seen its shell so you tell others that it's a "durasa" which it's not. SO, that 3 strikes.
It's my clam; why wouldn't I know? I've intentionally placed it in the location it's in for a reason. I may not be able to take care of fish as well as I'm able to take care of corals, inverts and bivalves but I can IDENTIFY AND SPELL the name of the species better than some people.
You're not smart for creating this poll since you DON'T KNOW what kind of tridacna it truly is and hopefully no one else votes on this topic because they will most likely realize that it's not what you claim since they haven't seen the shell.
