== == Clams cannot exist on their own - what we think of as just a clam is actually a compact body that lives in symbiosis with tiny little organisms called zooxanthellae- which feed off of algae- So how do we keep this complex creature fed and happy? Make the place where you put your clams as close as possible to the place where they came from!....
In 8 steps you will be good to go! 1. Lighting is very Important!-metal halide lighting is best
(algae need the light--> photosynthesis-->feed zooxanthellae) 2.Water Current: Clams need some water flow. 3.Calcium: Clams need 400-450 mg/l calcium- you can use a Ca reactor 4.pH: of 8.0-8.1 5. Add Trace elements such as strontium iodine and vitamins
6. Water temperatures between 25-32 deg C 7.Nitrates-sodium nitrate solution or an ammonium nitrate solution. 8. Clams are filter feeders- so a good food source could be a solution of baking soda, yeast and water or a planktonic algae preparation For more detail refer to the Great article 'Tridachnid Clams' by David C. Potts found at the link below! I just read you can crush up fish food, and put a leaf to wither in the water. The mucus that the clam or oyster makes on it's shell collects the food and they eat it when there ready. I hope it's not a lie. Because we just got some and put them in our AQ.
that doesn't work. I got some butterfly clams from the Gulf of Mexico. i had 7. i just got some cheap goldfish food from Walmart and within a day they were dead. it might have been the type of food, but they all died overnight.

Well generally you need to feed them and make sure they dont get eaten by other fish.
Yes, clams are filter feeders.
You can feed them phytoplankton.
feed me
clams can feed on plants remains in the sediment
the like to eat clams
they feed on fish, crabs, people, sharks, and clams.
You should not feed them wild clams because they may harbor parasites or diseases which harm your turtle. Feed them fresh clams from the supermarket. Make sure to take the shell off...
live white sharks
worms
just feed the pet pets
Yes, clams are known as primary consumers. Clams feed on plankton by drawing in water and filtering the food from the water before it is ejected.
