How big is your Giga?
I have a large lagoon set up in my basement, i just put in a giga clam about 5", anybody have any luck with these getting real big in the tanks and in what time frame. saw one at the zoo aquarium that was 30" plus.

several people here have grown theirs to 14" plus in relatively little time (a couple of years)
I bought a small guy (3") and he has already grown 1/4" of new shell in only a couple of weeks

They grow so fast you can see new shell growth every couple weeks. I got a blue eyed and it has grown almost an inch in a month. I didn’t no they grew that fast, I will eventually have to move all my rock out of the way.

Nax, re-read my first post. But thanks for (re)clarifying.
I have no idea how to measure a clam, but the derasa is at least 12" long. Probably more like 14". -- Les |

Here's mine, in the background of this photo. It's about 8 or 9 inches now. It has a one inch growth rim on him.

I have had a gigas for about 1week and a half and I notice its mantle doesn't extend as far out as other species of clams (derasa, crocea, squamosa..etc not counting Hippo) is it normal for gigas?
