clams mussels and oysters

[Jeox]

I was thinking or setting up a tiny little tank with a clam a mussel and an oyster , all three just being run of the mill supermarket kinds) How much salt would need to be added per liter of water? Also what do there eat?

You will need cold water at full seawater strength (sg 1.025) using sea water mix, and you will need lots of liquid fry food or reef keepers food or green water infusoria. Not an easy project.

clams are good in slumps because thay eat micro algee (algee blooms) and other small stuff, its like having a UV filter but only cheaper, mussels imo are not good they attach themselfs to everything including outgoing pump inlet and stop the flow of things and make your tank water bad, but thats just what happend to me it might work out better for you

depending on species and room temperature you may need a chiller. Those can get expensive.

but like gupps said, they need cold water

they wont survive in a tropical tank

This seems pretty complicated.. I probibly shouldn't do it unless I get a big tank with them in a sump..

There are freshwater tropical clams, A person on aquabid sells them. I've never had them so I don't know a thing about them.
