I use these clams in my prefilter. I use several pounds of commercial feeds in my system each day. Alot of it breaks down to a fine powder that is picked up by the filter intakes. The clams screen alot of this silt out before the water goes through the filtration system. There's no provided substrate in the prefilter. Just the 'ash' silt from the commercial feeds and chitonous material from the crayfish.

One of the vendors in the "buy and sell" carries them, Frank's Aquarium.
