Pictures of Clams

[Anonymous]

Greetings everyone!

I'm on a quest. I have been making trips into my LFS with my hubby and I see these beautiful clams in the tank.

If you have any pictures of clams from your tank would you please post them.

Thank you!

In all seriousness now...

This one just died on me after 4 years with no discernable explanation. It had more than tripled in size too!

Tderesa ... locals call it the cow clam cause it likes to take up a ton of space..

I am sick and tired of T. clams. Let's see something different!

This is one of my clams. It is a type of oyster. You should be able to discern the newest layer of growth on the shell.

That's cool. I think next oyster type clam that comes through the LFS might go into my tank. Hafta start reading up on them in the meantime.

Are they hardier than some of the other types of clams?

And what's the latest party line on bristleworms--are they still considered to go after clams?

I only have it for a few months. It seems to be growing, but it is like other filterfeeders in my tank, that just live without me paying any attention to them.

Flame scallop is a different issue. It got a much higher metabolism, and I won't touch it for another 5 years.

Bristleworm? It is like vultures. Harmless, and eat dead thing. When you see a swamp of vultures eating road kill as you drive by, it does make you think that it is the ugly looking birds that murdered the deer, doesn't it?

LOULE, Are you sure this is a photosenthesic oyster? I tought these are just like scallops and filter feeders and light isnt very important for them?

 

[Anonymous]

I did not say it is photosynethic. In fact, I said it is like other filterfeeders.... :?

ShotgunShrimp - I love that black and white maxima -did you get it online or at a LFS?

 

[ozadars]

ok sorry sorry sorry
I found a scallop today which came w/ LRs but i dont what to do w/ it...
btw LOULE your oyster eat frozen brine shrimp or just live phyto? We have them here (in the sea) they look same w/ yours, they just have different shells and burries themselfs in to the sand...

I ignore all my filter feeders. They are just in my tank without any particular attention being paid to them. I have feather dusters, a few unknow clams on the rock, Xmas tree worms on a Porites, sponges, etc..

I guess I am just too lazy, cheap and busy.
