Clams are not exclusively found in freshwater; they can also inhabit saltwater environments. However, certain species, known as freshwater clams, thrive in rivers, lakes, and ponds due to their specific adaptations for lower salinity levels. Factors like water temperature, oxygen content, and availability of food sources influence their distribution. Thus, while some clams are found in freshwater, many others live in marine ecosystems as well.

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.
