i live just south of Philadelphia in Delaware. most of them were on-line but some were local. the purple parrot is a spoof from an old thread here with Krish. it really should be purple penguin but i messed it up when i added it and when i noticed it i said forget it:lol:

while waiting for more pictures, can anyone teach me with an estimate on how much calcium does a growing 6" clam takes up a day. 2ppm/day ? :)
 
I don't know how much calcium they use up exactly so I will post a pic so you won't get bored while you wait. Heres my blue maxima. It's just a baby yet.
