If you asked me what my favorite invert was in the world…I would say a clam. They are so fricking cute and I don’t even know why! Maybe it’s because they look so squishy and the way their “mouths” suck nutrients and the way they close up when startled. Gosh…I can’t! ;Shamefullyembarrased
I am not in the right time now for this project (my main tank is now a FOWLR and all the extra space and time is for the fish QT). In a few years from now I’m definitely planning to keep a clam-only tank. It might sound so weird to even consider this.
I was thinking of a rather short tank but very long. Probably 40 gallons max size. This is because clams need a lot of light and cannot grow on top of each other as they will shadow.
The clams will be mainly maxima clams (my favorite). But derasa clams are good too…but they get kind of big!
I do have experience with keeping clams (derasa). I was able to grow them but today I rehomed them because I really need to focus on my FOWLR and the fish QT systems.
I just felt like sharing this idea. Has anyone ever kept a clam-only tank before?
