DRZ, yeah, that's the mack-daddy - coming along nicely, I think I am going to try and move ofersome rock today. Not an easy task, by the way!!

jim how much was the female Melanopus?

 

[House of Laughter]

Spykes,

Glad you noticed that it was a female - also, the blueish hue on her underside is nothing compared to what the camera can capture -

I paid $25

Boy that clam doesn't look like the ones that I saw. I guess a better tank and light does make a difference.

I'm trying to figure out which clam it was, when you purchased it there where just 3 clams in the tank on the rock in middle, one was in the front which looked blue/purple but was washed out somewhat and 2 others in the back. One in the back was purple and black and the other was just dark. Which one did you get?

Looking at it now I wish I would have purchased one, the only thing is that the size was small and you need to feed it alot and I hardly feed my tank as it is.

Spykes,

RK was saying the same thing -

Yeah I got her for a steal, but I also sold $1200 of equipment and drove 8 hours in a day for Bill upstate, so, I am glad I got a break on her.

Michael, I picked up the one that was in the back - it was the least washed out. By the way, that picture was taken 2 days after I got it. First day deep in the tank (2.5 feet away from light) and second day in a cup with reef-snow phytoplankton - I plan on feeding it once a week. I don't have the patience for more that that. It opens wide all day and is really colorful.

Jim, looks like you're off to a good start. I can't wait to see it when all of your 92gal is in there. When it's all transferred over I'll invite myself over for some beers and take some good pics of the tank for you.

Sounds like a plan - should be in a week or two once I finish my school work.

Look for those pics soon.

Jim
