I purchased 2 from him they were really beautiful but died clams that small are very hard to keep. If your water is ok it's hard to determine what killed them. I think it's great that we finally have a source of clams but also don't think he should sell them that small. As for him asking you to pay 50 bucks for his mistake. I would have told him I want the original claim I ordered ( always snap shot a picture of the one you buy) if you want me to send back your 3 clams I need you to send me a heating or. Cooling pad and a pre paid slip and I will put them in the mail as soon as I get the one I ordered. I have heard mixed things about claim mainna.Hi all,
I found an Instagram account names clam mania and bought a clam during one of their live sales. I spend $99 plus $20 shipping in a 1.5 inch blue maxima. When my package arrived there were three clams in the package and none of them being the clam I chose in the live sale.
I let the owner know and he said I could keep the two extra clams for $50 more dollars. I could have told him he could come pick them up if he wanted them back, but I was a nice guy and paid him the $50 right away.
Fast forward 6 days and the blue maxima clam, that looked similar to the one i originally bought in the live died. The other two additional clams are alive and happy. I emailed the seller and his response was:
“Yes it must be something in the water or some pH shock not really sure as I’m not monitoring your system, But it’s good that it didn’t affect your other clams because sometimes ammonia spike can affect the other claims. I’m Sorry for your loss.”
So my question is: if there was something wrong with my system wouldn’t all three clams die? They were placed near each other with the same lighting and water flow.
Shouldn’t sellers provide some type of guarantee especially when paying $99 for a 1 inch clam?
