squamosa size

[fishermann]

How big does a squamosa grow too and how fast growing is it? Thanks

Mine has grown a 1/4 of new shell in about a month and a half

A Squamosa can grow as little as 4 cm per year and as much as 8 cm per year.

The largest recorded Squamosa is 41cm

very fast... talking from personal experience. unless you want to see some pictures for prove?

LOL Your clam doens't count, you feed it your special clam sauce to make it grow fast so you can eat it later.

But to answer your question, yes we want pic's. Make more people just as envious of you as I am.

I've seen his clams. Very nice indeed. As a matter of fact lets see some updated pics of those clams Amush.

Thanks guys. I don't meant to hijack this thread but just sharing....
1 year ago when i got it, i can't even sit it on the egg crate and it will pass through the hole.

This is 1 year later

my hand from thumb to other end is 12-13cm across......... so i don't know if Skinz's 8cm a year can apply to this or not. But i said it many times and i will mention it again. If you are growing your own food, it is not a bad investment?:lol:
