another drappy clam....

very nice lei!

[bubble_gum]

the inhalent syphon looks big. if dats normal i think my clam is tooo... btw, NICE CLAM!!!!

[roidan]

yeah....signs of shipping stress...

but the main thing is that it is still mounted on a rock...meaning the byssal gland below was not cut during harvesting...

tat means byssal infection is less likely to happen....some clams may appear to be very nice and healthy but if the byssal is torn or damaged during harvesting, infection may set in and slowly the clam will die off....

so...take note of the byssal attachment

[bubble_gum]

thanks bro but i dun c a byssul attachment on my squamosa. sand dweller.....rite?

[roidan]

actually all clams have byssal gland...its whether big or small....

[bubble_gum]

ya i think so too but i really cant c the one on this big duy. bro, have u seen the thread on my squamosa that has been gapping?? mind taking a look n give ur advice?

[roidan]

sometimes they just die for no reason....

just do what you can, the rest, leave to fate

yeah...eating anthias food...hehe

hmm...about 2 months odd.....seem to love cyclopeeze...

bro deepblue also has i think....wonder what he feeds also

[weileong]

don't tell me bought from CF?

Seriously I dare not buy unless I know they are eating. If not wait kanna from AT

[roidan]

i just see which one is actively picking stuff off the fishes and swimming around actively and then just try lor....

seems that they are having 3 to 5 times meal a day together with the anthias......maybe tat's why still around...

but i am sure they are better off in the wild helping the other fishes...

[DeepBlue]

I do not have a cleaner wrasse...but a while back Henry brought in some big ones, they were feeding on pellets and mixed food fed by him....dun know still got or not

Oh yeah...thanks for the offer....I am in the processs of building a 6FT fowler in my hall..I will dropby periodically to measure the black tangs' body length..... from the book, it is stated that they are considered adult when they are 3 inches in length ....sooon..................

[roidan]

oh paiseh..hehe..tot u have..

wah..3inch adult liao ah...lol....

i mean the XXXL size in CF..if that size i sure give you ..u want to steam and eat it also can...

6ft ah..wah...nice...why not make it full reef and move your stuff over? then the bedroom can be neater and less noisy

[DeepBlue]

no lah.....I want to put it on the floor. when I sit on my sofa, can see the HUGE fishes swimming around.....migrating the fishes in TriggerQueen's tank

[roidan]

on the floor?

wah...interesting...keep us updated....

i was thinking a tank like that and then put a piece of glass over it and be my dining table next time....wat you think? lol...FOWLR....go HK lug all the fake corals back...lol

[DeepBlue]

cool idea....because we like to sit on the floor and watch TV in the hall...even when we got a new sofa.....so thought of the idea of building a 6FT FOWLR at the side, about 2.5 ft tall.....when her french angel, blueface and emperor grows up...they will need space

with your black tang in it...will look very gorgeous

[roidan]

will be very nice....

the fishes will be very up to date with world affairs....everytime got TV to see...

[DeepBlue]

yup, they will only watch MTV and animal planet

[Dispar_Anthias]

When they see macdonald's filet-o fish advertisment, all of them will go hiding

[19percula]
