Freshwater clams are primarily filter feeders, meaning they primarily consume tiny particles like plankton, algae, and detritus suspended in the water. While they may not fit the traditional definition of omnivores, which eat both plant and animal matter, their diet can include a mix of organic materials. Therefore, they can be considered to have omnivorous tendencies in their feeding habits.

Can clams live in tap water?

Clams are not suited to live in tap water for an extended period of time as the water parameters are typically not ideal for their health and survival. Clams require specific water conditions, such as proper salinity levels, pH, and temperature, which are different from what is found in tap water. It is recommended to provide clams with filtered or purified saltwater that meets their specific needs in order for them to thrive.
