Clams and seahorses

[kchristensen8064]

Does anyone know of any stores in the northern half of the state that have a decent selection of clams. And any stores that carry dwarf seahorses?

I do not know about the seahorses, but I have regularly seen clams at Aqua Imports in Boulder and also at Animal Attraction in Greeley. The ones at Animal Attraction are under a few smaller LEDS that are a few feet above the clams - I would worry that these have been slowly starving if they have been there for long... if they just got them in stock within a week, or so, then they might do better.

I have seen a few clams at the one on Harmony in FoCo (forgot the name), but not consistently - I have the same concern for long-term health under the AP700s at that much of a distance.

Clams are not something that you want to sit around the LFS for long - right out of the ocean is best unless the shop has them very shallow under a TON of light.

Awesome thanks. I try to avoid shipping charges when possible. I'll have to check out aqua imports sometime, haven't been there for a long time.

Aquatic Art always has a good selection of clams. They could likely order the seahorses for you too.
I have seen Aquamart carry seahorses from time to time as well, but havent been by there in ages

Was at AA recent and Aaron said something about getting some clams might be worth the call

That's great! I haven't been to aquatic art before but have really been wanting to, now i definitely need to plan a trip down there.

Definitely check out AA. I’ve also gotten/seen some very reasonably priced clams at Murman’s Reef (formerly Key’s Island). It’s incredible how fast the tiny derasa clam I got has grown. Murman’s often has seahorses too - I’d call or stop by to see what they have in stock.

Cool thanks, I'll definitely have to check them out.
