Gah!!!! I love clams, all clams.....But the Gigas clams just appeal to me more than others. This is a gorgeous clam:

I'm more of a maxima clam lover myself. You are right though, they are all beautiful.

Gigas clams are my favorite also. That is an awesome picture Michael! Gonna get one?

BarbMazz · 12-12-2007, 03:42 PM

Yes, I totally agree.... that is one gorgeous clam! However, I want to have several different clams in my someday tank one day!

In my 240 I want to have several clams. I already have 2 croceas, a little three incher, and a big 5.5 incher.
I want to have two Gigas, 5 maximas, 5 croceas, 2 squamosas. I am in love with clams. I even have my aquascape designed with the clams already in the picture!!!!!

I wish my tank was here. Also Megan will be putting two clams in her tank. A Crocea and a Maxima.
I feel all clammy

Gorgeous clam.
Just too big for my reef. I'll stick with my croceas and maxima. At least I say I will

Greg’s T. gigas has grown so large over the years that it now has a tank of its own, and is threatening to break open the walls of that tank. Greg told me that the clam when expelling water can dump close to a gallon of water onto the floor, or in your face if you’re too close.

''or in your face if you’re too close.''
I can see it now... ''check out my huge clam...c'mon look closer from the top of my tank'' bwah hhahahahahahaa
