| ORA Announces Limited Availability of Rare Turquoise Squamosa Clams Posted: 25 Jun 2014 07:00 AM PDT
Oceans Reefs and Aquariums is known mostly for their aquacultured fish and frags, but they’ve also got some awesome Tridacnid clams, and they’re reminding us all of this fact in a huge way. Announced yesterday on the their Facebook page, ORA has just made their highly prized ORA Turquoise Squamosa clams available to stores nationwide. These clams are breathtaking, sporting the typical “squammie” patterns but draped in a vibrant turquoise color with a bright blue rim around the mantle. There’s only one catch though. The clams will be extremely limited in a one-time special offer, and so rare in fact that there are only four individuals available. This extremely limited availability will definitely lead to a super high price tag, which will most likely come from the vendors selling the clams and not so much ORA themselves. We’ve heard rumors of $300 price tags, but who knows if that is anywhere close to being an accurate number. Regardless, these are amazing clams. |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2014 06:00 AM PDT Have you ever sat staring at your aquarium and wondered…are my fish really hungry or would it be a total waste of time to add food to the tank? Well, if you feel like the fish get fed too much or are just unsure of their preference, by paying a little extra attention to their behavior, you can actually condition the fish to let you know when they’re hungry. If you feed a fish every time it comes to a specific spot in the aquarium or exhibits some specific behavior, then it will do that same thing every time it is willing to eat. Case in point, I’ve got a yellow watchman goby that normally stays in the sand or perched up on a rock. When it is hungry, however, the fish ventures to the middle of the aquarium and actually hovers about halfway up the water column. I drop in a little pellet food and the goby snatches it right up. In other instances, where the fish is still on the bottom for example, it tends not to eat the food at all. |
