What??? That's awsome!! lol Never seen clams That small in my life!! Crazy!! Mind you, you are in the states.... I'm in Canada, so i guess we just don't have those down here... Or maybe i've just never heard of them :S But either way, i want some!! :D lol
 
yeah ^_^ i put them in my 3.5 gallon for now..they are neat to watch bulldoze the gravel
 
ooh bumping my old thread..

I will be getting more of these soon.....^_^
 
that group made it for about 6 months,
i have heavily planted tank now that gets green water every other week and i like having my lights on for a long time,

so im hoping i can get a small handful and see how they do in the green water.
 
Just saw some of those at the little lake system were I've been fishing and trapping crayfish. Gonna try some in my cichlid tank, is that bad idea? Do they just filter feed?

yes they are souly filter feeders they need allot of green water or particles in the water..iv thought of grinding algae wafers and pellets to a powder,mixing it with water and feeding them with an eye dropper ..but i have not tried this yet.

im going to see how a few of them do with the green water out breaks im having in my 10 gallon....i like leaving my lights on all day.

i have yet to get out to the lake to collect some more of these guys.
