Hey all, I learned a hard lesson recently. I added a maricultured maxima clam which looked perfectly healthy and 10 days later went from fine to dead overnight. About 2 to 3 weeks later, my very large deresa clam I had for 4 years died in a similar manner. I was devastated and am assuming it was something from the maxima. I very carefully inspected for pyramid snails on both clams and on my snails and found nothing. I'm assuming it was a protozoa or something. I really want a clam back in the tank. Is there any established timeline for how long I should leave the tank clam fallow? I read something from years ago that said 30 days, but there wasn't much information overall.

Thanks
