Tuest me.

I'm serious.

If there's a good oppurtunity to get a super Clam, I'm there.

HK-SG is not a long flight anyways.

Problem is how to take live Clams out of Changi.

But first let me have da clams, then I'll think about the problems.

Any info???

:thanks:

Sorry,

was away for few days.

Dont worry.

If they have such clams and I can get some, I'll get my friend in Singapore to help me and issue a Cites permit.

It'll cost me more, but in case of some clams, deviding the cost of the Cites on few Clams will help.

Please keep me updated.

And please let me know if you'll have time to roam around S'pore for a Clam hunt (and maybe interrutus hunt ;) )

Take care.

Vili,

Didn't know you are in HK! Was just there on Friday - mostly at Tung Choi St, of course!

You're right, no real nice clams at all (altho there was a tank full of quite OK croceas). Nice fish variety tho....1-2 inch scribbled angels! First time I've ever seen such a small size, and "cheap" too! Too bad I had to go back to Guangzhou first before coming home!

Intelligent people talk about ideas......

Average people talk about things......

Small people talk about other people......

HK is the best place on earth for fish.

You can get almost anything in the most competetive price.

I know for a fact that many of the retail prices running in this street are lower than US wholsale prices!!!

They are working on a very low margain, and based on a huge turn over, and I mean HUGE.

The main importers there gets 1 to 3 shipments a DAY.

For Clams there was no much variety, I know that shop that ya've been, he's quite strong at Croceas, he has 2 tanks full of them most times of the year, and a display tank with XL croceas.

In front of him there a dude that is strong in Maximas, but he didnt have clams for quite sometime now.

When he do gets them, he have some really cool Ultra Maximas.

Other people gets some Squamies and some Max from time to time.

But really, nothing beats the variety of fish, when the season is on, I'm going there at least once a day to keep updated.

I'm on a mission to get a Gem Tang, Hotumatua Angel and some Aussie Fairy wrasse which is off topic, but if we get back to topic, cool Clams are always welcome :D

Hi

This is a beautiful blue spotted squamie.

It's quite common in the red sea, and also other places have it.

I dont really think it should be expensive.

Cool clam though.

YUp.... not expensive but indeed a surprise find...... its rather purplish when you see it in real life..... Anyway this clam is from vietnam
