my new crocea..
hey guys...
tell me what you think! [IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/VictorAlonso/fishtank/DSC_0300.jpg[/IMG] quick question: ive read that if you buy a baby clam that is under 2" you should feed it phyto... this clam is just over 2", should i worry about it? or is what i read relly not true? thanks! Victor |
nice clam. we have about the same color pattern as my new derasa
I'm no clam expert or anything but wouldn't the large opening that expose the organs a sign of stress or not enough light? |
Victor
if your tank is well established and you feed you fish regularly theres no need to add food just for the clam |

sorry, when I mean about, not with the whitish thing. it does have little tourquise (sp?) lines with deep blue/purpleish mantle. hope this is a derasa (equals easier to maintain, correct?)as the LFS said.
|
well derasas arent necessairly 'easier' to maintain they are just naturaly found in the sand of the ocean floor which means they dont necessairily require as much light as say a crocea or maxima.
i had a derasa kept him at the bottom of the tank... had him for about a year and 1/2... |
