Hurricane Katrina survivors...

[rharr21]

Just a interesting note or maybe not....

My brother and I have 4 clams that survived three weeks with poor lighting, tanks pushed up against windows with no other lighting and no filtration only battery powered bubblers. This was due to hurricane Katrina. They went an additional month with window light and fluorescent shop lights on three sides of the tanks. During that time we did several water changes with bottled water and iodized salt. They are a gigas, a hippopus, a blue crocea, and a gold maxima. Additionally we had a derasa and a tear drop maxima that died. They all turned brown except the hippopus. Since then they have been under good lighting and filtration. Their color has returned. The gigas has better color than it did before the storm, the maxima has regained about half of its blue color, but a large section of it has no pigment at all, the hippopus didn't seem to do anything. Oh we have a shrimp that was living in the deceased teardrop maxima now living in the gigas.

And people say these clams are not hardy!
