I love clams but lost him in a month. I have MH and blues its an orbit but i did somthing wrong. someday i,ll read more and try again.

If you like Terri we could try and figure out what it was that went wrong. If you have an established mature aquarium with the proper lighting then i would assume it was a chemical issue that you can work out quickly. Could you post your prams, (ca++ , alk, ph, salinity and temp)?

I feel your pain. Just don't give up. Given the right conditions these critters can live a loonngggg time (which means they CAN get big too). Frank hit right on the point there. We can probably figure out relatively accurately what your tank will/wont support and go from there. Hang in there!!

Well, I looked and looked and I don't have a clam but I found this one wandering around looking lost so I thought I would give him the opportunity to become a star on the clam page.

Thanks Frankie!

That teardrop Maxima is actually dead

I got a new clam from IL when I was up there and set it next to the Maxima I had for ~3 years and they both died about 3 weeks later

No warning,.. nothing,.. one day it had a little pinched mantle, next day dead. I figure it was some sort of bacterial infection I brought into the tank.

Damn! I lost a tear drop like that after having it for over a year. Once i saw it peeling away from the shell i tossed it.

I did buy a new max today though

Pictures up tomorrow!

Tonight!!!

I had the same thing happen to the first and only teardrop I purchased 5 or 6 years ago. When teardrops still cost and arm and a leg... I was ticked to say the least.

Craig Manoukian · 12-11-2007, 08:15 PM

Love those clams Whiskey! Pictures Frankie?

Frankie · 12-11-2007, 11:57 PM

I will have them in the morning sometime. I wanted the new max to get acclimated first. Since i added the ca++ reactor there has been some serious signs of growth also on the clams. I will get some shots of the rims also.
