从水族馆世界的角度来看,我们倾向于将日本视为一个许多异国情调的国家goes,但是很容易忘记日本拥有将近30,000公里的海岸线,其中大部分位于西北太平洋的热带和亚热带水域。
世界上这个地区是许多异国情调的鱼类和无脊椎动物的家园,恰好包括流行的“小”巨型蛤的自然分布,tridacna鳄鱼。我们长期以来一直意识到Tridacna蛤lam出现在日本水域中,并且该群体非常受欢迎,无论煮熟还是原始,但是我们从未真正看过日本鳄鱼蛤直到现在的样子。
像所有分布广泛的海洋动物一样tridacna鳄鱼在其范围内差异很大,这些区域人口具有一些共同的特征。我们在这些奇妙的日本鳄鱼蛤标本中所看到的,由Aqua Gift共享和出售,是出色的色彩和图案。
Where a typical crocea clams is simply a dark navy blue with some degree of light and dark spotting, sometimes with stripes and teardrops, these croceas are really sporting a lot of teal and blue-green colors and patterns. A substantial amount of Aqua Gift’s croceas also have the large teardrop pattern which is sometimes called a ‘普通话鳄鱼‘ when the appearance is striking enough.
尽管日本不允许出口现场装饰蛤,但值得庆幸的是,我们可以得到类似的品种,甚至从帕劳(Palau)的五颜六色的标本中,水产养殖努力(例如生物群)拥有数十年来养育各种蛤lam物种的经验。虽然这些可能不是野性蓝色海辣或超级稀有瓷蛤, these cute and very affordably priced clams have a unique charm that any reefer would love to enjoy in their home aquarium. [水上礼物这是给予的
