Do you think it's safe to get a Tahitian?

My lfs has has some beautiful Tahitians since September of 2012. They ordered over 90 and there are only about 30 people who shop there so they have about 60 left.

They're about 5-6 inches. I'd be getting the one in front all the way to the right. I like the green

I have heard of a few people keeping them longer than 6 months, but the vast majority have just up and died for no apparent reason. I lost three myself, but every other clam in my tank is thriving. I know they are tempting, but I'll never buy another one.

:Oh snap:
If you find one you like that shows good mantle extension and good overall health I'd get it. Just watch out.

I wish I knew. They are the most gorgeous clams out there IMO

It depends on how much they are asking. I only paid $40 each for my little ones that are going down hill. For $40, I'd try again. For over $100, I'd pass.

Beautiful clam...If it were me, I'd go for it, especially for free!

Haha I wouldn't call it free, I traded in my huge green bubble tip for it. Luckily the bubble tip split and I have another ;)

I think if they've had them for that long they should be good to go!
