My baby blue T.squamosa journal

by **amashun** on Sat Aug 02, 2008 7:04 am

As requested, i will put it here for my baby clam.

I think i have it for around 3 months now and it has been grown a lot. i didn't do any target feeding at all and i place the clam just 10-15cm under the MH.
I got this clam around 6th april, 08, you can clearly see it is around the same size as the egg crate hole

sweet

it looks like its almost doubled in size and it has colored up nicely. you should post a new photo the first of every month so we can watch it grow.

Sure, will do.

Glad you like it. :lol:

btw, i heard people saying when they grow bigger, their colour will not be intense like this anymore. is it true Chris & Barb?

I've never experienced that. the intensity of the color may change a little over time but thats going to depend on your lighting. IMO what you see now is what you will have when its all grown up :wink:

Thanks Jack, yeah, that's what i think too.
squamosa grow way too fast than i can imagine.
I feel it is a bit funny, if it is not growing, then i would worry. If it is growing too fast, i would worry again...lol perhaps i'm just too fussy... :mrgreen:

i remember you saying it was a hitch hiker, some people have all the luck :evil:

where did the rock come from?

by **amashun** on Sun Aug 03, 2008 8:28 am

all of my live rock came from local (Australia). there are a few people on OZ forum said the same thing. some bonus clam from the LR when they bought it from LFS. :mrgreen:
