Full Version: What is the biggest size a captive maxima can get?
I see some stat boxes saying they can get to 10-12". Is this only in the wild or is it true in both cases?

most time they will only get to 6" but i just read someone who has a 9" one so anything is possible.
iv seen pics of people having 8"+ in their 300g+ reef tank. probably going to need something that big to have a stable environment for a clam if your going to raise it that big.
doubt most of the big clams were grown to that size from something around 3"

they could very well get that big
the thing u need to keep in mind is the time scale that will happen
chances are youd be fine with a small clam in your tank for years with out size being an issue
