Hi everyone,
I just bought a maxima clam on Saturday. I acclimated it and scrubbed the exterior shell with a brush. It has some pyramid snails in it and some Astria starfish, but they came off.
it looked great yesterday but came home from work today to see it look off (see pict).
many recommendations? It still responds to stimuli, but nervous.
water parameters are good:
PH: 8.2
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
Phosphate: 0.25
Salinity: 1.026
Temp: 79
ca: 440
Mg: 1400 (little high)
Alk: 11.9 dKH
I am going to do a 25% water change just in case. I checked the base of the clam and around it for snails...did not find any
