The best size of phyto to feed clams?
I've been looking for this info for a week, and come up blank. I know I've seen it somewhere in the past, but can't remember where.
Thanks!

Hi,

Optimal size varies with the type of clam. Most phytoplankton will work pretty well, but stuff in the 1 to about 30 micrometer size generally fills the bill. For optimal feeding as well, you will need to provide a varied diet (several different types of phytoplankon offered simultaneously is best).
