CLAM CARE TIPS! $150 7" Maxima Clams at Blue Ribbon Aquatics!

[@channelchupathingee9195]

Wish that I had a store like that near me. Also I hope that we get to see an update on the 10 gallon soon.

Your editing has become soooo good lately

[@InappropriateReefer]

Thank you for your kind words! I guess editing is slowly becoming a second hobby, lol! Really wish I could have more time to dedicate to each video though... I could only get ~50% of what I wanted to do into each video due to time constraint. =/

@@serkanonf Good eye, I think you may be the only person that caught it, lol

[@TRSCAquatics]

@@InappropriateReefer Nope I caught it too it was smooth but the camera handoff was shaky but added to the realism. I was just wondering WHO was holding it heheeheh. Moki what is the Filter that you are using for the camera? Yours is magnetic?

[@InappropriateReefer]

@@TRSCAquatics That's MightyNanoTank behind the camera ;-) Actually his idea as well to try this here! Yep since I have a P&S with no filter thread, I am using this: amzn.to/2Td5kVm one of the best investments!

[@sssingha]

Dude the suspense! Can't wait. Love the videos man. Keep em coming

[@Ellery-USA]

Great to hear from a LFS experience since not many of the Rochester Stores get any large clams. I think I agree from my clam gluttony these last few months that the quick acclimation worked best vs the drip acclimation. Yet getting stuff shipped makes it harder still so if you find some locally that's been in the tanks for a little bit you're lucky. Most LFS don't bother feeding so that's a possible risk too. I was told the larger clams are sold cheaper as food grade compared to the small ones are considered ornamental and charged more.

[@InappropriateReefer]

That's actually super interesting, regarding the larger clams being sold as food grade. I remember hearing that in Japan some restaurants serve these live giant clams as food... the customers would pick one out and the chef would prepare it right away. Just reading this second hand though so I am not sure how true it is, but hey, I believe it since parts of the world eat these!

[@sunnygoold9449]

Stoked you got the yasha - good stuff - I think that $150 maxima was AMAZING - such great colors - can't believe it was left behind. I would have got it and eventually moved it into the new bigger (150) tank ;)

[@InappropriateReefer]

They had 2 or 3 times more a few days ago, wish I dropped by earlier!!

Those clams are HUGE! If I was let loose in that store my life savings would be gone in 15 mins xD

[@mongoose0307]

My last clam purchase was a 7 inch clam for 125 bucks. It was a Tahitian blue maxima and lasted for almost 6 months before my leds bleached the mantel and killed it.

[@RipVanWinkle_Nature_Discovery]

Those clams are better than awesome but personally I've kinda given up on clams because every time I take one back it dies after some time. (I've tried two so far) I think I would need to start a separate tank that's completely clean. I'm guessing that since i'm getting them from the ocean, I must either have something in my system that predates on them or I'm bringing them in with parasites on them and in a closed system they can't defend themselves against the predators. Either predatory snails or worms or both - not sure what happened. Good vid!! Waiting for the follow up.

[@InappropriateReefer]

I feel your frustration as I have lost quite a few clams as well.. are the ones you bring back pretty large? Did they expire right away or lived for awhile? Curious if there's a pattern.

[@RipVanWinkle_Nature_Discovery]

@@InappropriateReefer They were both what I would call medium sized (derasa clams) based on other clams in the area. They were about 4.5" (the first one slightly smaller). The first one lived for about 2 months and the 2nd lasted for almost 6 months. Whatever attacked them went in by the foot. I suspect snails. I wonder if there's a way to safely seal the foot of a younger clam without harming it? That way it would be safe.

[@okelliesfarm]

This was the most helpful video iv found thank you

[@cameron6824]

You should've gone to the Philippines to buy clams 😂 I bought this massive blue maxima (around 9 inches) for only $50 (regular price) 😉 Unfortunately it died a year later. Its mantle wasn't extending. I checked my water and it was fine. I then saw my problem... My cleaner wrasse started picking on the mantle. I immediately removed the wrasse, but by that time it was already too late ☹
