If the growth stays consistent, I’ll need a new tank in maybe 5 years. Ok I have 5 years to plan!
I’d say that’s a clam tank! LOLabsolutely awesome. I am setting up a new tank. it is going to be sps and clams. Your tank is certainly an inspiration
I’ve had the opportunity to go the Waikiki aquarium multiple times. Massive! Here is a pic from our last trip. That’s my little boy for comparison. Haha.Thank you! When we moved it to the new system 3 years ago we guesstimated its weight around 120ish lbs. That is based upon the water displacement volume, us lifting it, and the Waikiki Aquarium's Gigas when they weighed it around the same size as mine.
Thank you for the picture! A truly magnificent creature.
I know they lost their oldest one a few years back, but now it would seem that the one in my pic is dead too. That’s a shame. In general I would say that everything in Hawaii is mismanaged... that aquarium is pretty neat regardless, all natural sea water and natural lighting. For your 20th go to Kauai and then puddle jump to Waikiki. Waikiki is basically LA with a reef!Thank you for the picture! A truly magnificent creature.
My wife and I were planning a trip to Hawaii next year for our 20th. I was looking forward to seeing this beast. Then I read this article about their Gigas clams.
.EXCLUSIVE: 2 former Waikiki Aquarium directors say facility is mismanaged
Two former directors of the Waikiki Aquarium told Hawaii News Now it suffers from dysfunctional management that has led to rapid turnover in key positions and may have resulted in some of its animals dying recently, a charge the current man in charge denied.www.hawaiinewsnow.com
Hippopus town! You gonna eat em?!
As I always say, everybody needs a hobby!!!Yep! I raise all these clams for food, it’s why I started this thread, very exciting to see gigas back on the market since they grow so fast don’t have to wait as along to Harvest!
Looks like everyone’s is about the same size. I like that blue rim yours has! Pretty
Thanks! It's interesting the growth rate is so similar amongst those posting.Looks like everyone’s is about the same size. I like that blue rim yours has! Pretty
I still have one of mine that has had basically zero growth just inches from the fast growing one. For the last 6 months i have been busy and pretty much just doing water changes to keep things going.Thanks! It's interesting the growth rate is so similar amongst those posting.
Rad, upgrade time! Look at those jerk clams hosting it! Tell em to bug off!
it's so cool when a Gigas grows large and smaller fish hang with it!Rad, upgrade time! Look at those jerk clams hosting it! Tell em to bug off!
