[Nataku X]

Heehee... fish are my biggest nonathletic hobby, thanks! :-)

Another interesting tidbit about T. gigas... believe it or not, it's not a rare offering in the aquarium industry! As if people have an aquarium and lighting that could house a 500 pound clam that is considerably more drab than T. maxima. Yeesh.

Nice profile write-up on your FR home page.

I once worked for a firm where someone had a large aquarium. Somebody came in to clean it one day, and the aquarium broke and flooded the office. I think they managed to save some of the fish.

Me, I just have a cat; fortunately, he doesn't require cleaning, chemicals, or temperature regulation. :-p

Giant clam shell---you can probably pick one up on ebay for a few hundred...clams. :)
I used to have one, got it at Pier 1 in the seventies. Size of a baby's cradle it was. No excuse, had money coming out of my eyes at the time.
