Hi everyone!
I just confirmed with Mr. Philippe Quiquandon of the World Record Size Registry that the current record size for Ancistrolepis Vietnamensis is 114.0mm in 2007 by Peter Stimpson.
My specimen is 118mm. Yahoo!!! I will be registering for a new world record! Â <img src="images/smiley/clap.gif" alt="" border="0" /> Â Anyone interested in buying my specimen? hahaha Â
Thanks again guys.

Hi guys. What do you do if you have a recordsize specimen? I just found out that my ancistrolepis vietnamensis will probably hold the  record size. I emailed a shell supplier (Schooner) and Ross said according to the recent 2005 World records, the world record is 110mm. Mine is 118mm which I have been holding for several years now.
What do I with it? I mean how can I have it recorded. Does anyone know where I should submit it? My name will be putted in the World record book, right? <img src="images/smiley/roi.gif" alt="" border="0" />
This is the specimen with the calipers I used.
