My new Ultra Maxima

[Minh Nguyen]

Here are two new ultra T. maxima I got from Rob at East Coast Clams. They are farm raised. Very healthy and , IMO, extreemly beautiful.

Awsome! What are the actual sizes of thoes?

 

[Minh Nguyen]

They are a little over 2 inches in linear distance from one end of the shell to the other end.

Those are definitely incredible! I've been meaning to get a couple more clams myself. I know have one more place to check out

If you don't mind, I'm gonna copy this over to the photo forum as well.

Those are two absolutely gorgeous clams. I'll bet they fetched a handsome dollar as well. Money well spent IMHO.

very beautiful. a lfs near me has them on sale for a price range of 35-65 dollars. I would get a maxima, but I am afraid I would kill it

Are you sure they're maxima clams? They look like squamosa to me.

All kidding aside, have you had luck in the past with these very small maxima clams? I've heard that the tiny maxima clams can be difficult to maintain long-term. Very beautiful, BTW.

Before the tank crashed, I have not have a clam died for 2 years. The last ones that died were due to the Pinched mantle disease. I think Maxima at about 2 inches and larger are hardy and shoud do OK unless one realy messed up or got a sick clam.
Thanks Greg.

You should see the purple and gold ones, Beauty! Also, I think clamsdirect has a tank that is specially designed for viewing clams, as you will NEVER see them for the jewels they are when viewing from the side, must be seen from overhead.
