Okay so after watching a video on YouTube seeing clams filter really dirty water. I have wanted to obtain some "ugly" clams. My thought was to go to a local beach and dig some up and then do transport in a bucket with their water and a pump. Once home testing water parameters SG alk PH depending on result this would determine my drip acclimation time.
Here is my worry....I live in BC Canada. So the Clams I would be obtaining would be from a cooler climate then our tanks....
Is there any possible way to successfully acclimate these clams into our environment?
I'm not talking 10 or 15 only like 3-5 just for biodiversity.
Any information from anyone that knows a lot on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Species of clams I could legally collect are as follows:
Butter Clam
Horse Clam
Little neck Clam
Manila Clam
Softshell Clam
Varnish clam
Razor Clam
