Buwhahahahaha.
All these responses have been awesome and soooo worth all this buildup.
So Wifey really wanted a clam and liked the more unique ones, so do I of course. So then we headed over to Coral Reef Pets in Norridge. They ordered and got in 12 BEAUTIFUL Dr mac Clams (from Pacific East Aquaculture).
So we ended up picking up a clam and wow I can say he is a FIESTY ONE!
I take him out of the bags and swap him over into the bowl, I removed the measuring cup from the bowl I had sitting in the bowl. Well I move him over and look at the pretty colors and say, "awesome" when the little ******* shoots out at me filling my mouth and giving me a facial and spraying all over the bathroom.
Finally I get him situated and start syringing over water to acclimate him. I sit down for a few minutes and hear a huge splash and notice around that area is soaked. I figured the Achilles in the tank went by the glass and ticked him off.
Well... It def didnt stop there. I sat on the floor to keep him warm and while watching lost I would syringe more tank water over. Well... Something spooked him because again, he shot water allover.
Finally I finished acclimating him and placed him in tank last night.
Without further babbling, I give you the latest addition to my Tank.
I have yet to properly get a picture of all the crazy colors the clam has. right now it just looks, "blue"
but its purple, blue, teal.
Thanks for making this thread hillarious.
