cleaning wrasse and clams

[Bertdog]

for those of you that are keeping clams what are you thoughts on keeping them with a cleaning wrasse . i have done a little research and most of the info i got it talk about fishes not clams. i did find some that i read it wasn't a good idea to house them together . in some cases they took out the clam or the wrasse. i just added 3 more to the tank and i have seen the wrasse pick at the mantel . i don't see any damage to them other than them closing after being peck,including my existing clam.

my cleaner wrasse never bothered my vclam, was together for a year, but it did eat my snails eye's

could that be the reason that i keep seen one of my snail go around in circles lol. i just saw him peck at one of the clam ,but there's no way i can pull him out

is it eating frozen ? and only went after my nasserith snails sp ?

 

[Bertdog]

funny last week i was looking into them but i didnt see anything that got good reviews. then there was was that soda bottle with the bottom cut out the put back on backwards. i'll keep an eye on them (clam) i hate to take him(wrasse) out i had him for at least 6+ years

dont even have to do that with the bottle, since small fish cut the opening a little bigger and tie a piece of fishing string to it, once it goes in pull up and poof fish caught, and you have a drink from the trap
