basser1 Posted January 27, 2017 Down on the farm?? If you have had clams or are thinking about getting one, please look at this incredible video of a clam farm in Palau. Absolutely stunning!!! https://youtu.be/NelrsGWsD_A 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Lypto Posted January 27, 2017 I saw that one,I really love the clam gardens. Its so crazy to think they are eaten there as a delicacy. I read a couple of interesting articles about Palau having naturally acidic waters, and therefore much more resistant corals as well as harboring species thought to be gone elsewhere.It seems like a reefers paradise. I wonder if it's possible to get clams to spawn in the home aquarium in a devoted system. Quote Share this post Link to post

basser1 Posted January 29, 2017 Some folks have claimed their clams have "spawned" in a tank. But it's usually stress related that sets it off. Quote Share this post Link to post

tetraodon Posted January 30, 2017 Unconfirmed? Al has been raising clams for several years now. Goes by 'Acro Al'. now there is confirmation, at the time the only reference i had was a random forum about a no name hobbyist. so i dismissed as a rumor or here-say Quote Share this post Link to post
