I have not seen a Gigas for sale in years, except for this one. I have been looking - if somebody sees one, then let me know.

Squammy can be had in both blue and green and are great specimens - blue squamosa are a holy-grail clam for a lot of keepers.

Mike Rice told me there was one for sale in boulder about 5 years ago, but that’s the last he knew of.

I saw a few probably in 2015. They were blueish grey and nice. They were quickly gobbled up. Dr. Mac told me that he did not know of anybody who was farming them. They are not illegal to import, but I guess that finding them in the allowable size might be hard. Maybe there is some hope since I have seen Hippos for sale recently.

It seems like 5 years since that for-sale thread was up on the National board.

Do you know if they are being farmed for food anywhere?

As long as the Trident is available by the end of the year I’ll be happy. My calcium daily consumption has almost doubled. That was expected, but my water quality is also already visibly improved from the filtration that the clam provides.
That’s no joke. I’ve got another friend that’s got like 11 clams in his tank and doesn’t run a skimmer or any other filtration.

That's actually not bad. I dose about 15ml in my 65 and most of my sticks are 1" frags.
