So I picked up this clam from the LFS. It was in a very bad shape. I mean it wasn't just a pinched mantle , the flesh receded about 1.5" into the clams shell. I immediately freshwater dipped it, the mantle started coming out a little by little every day the flesh even started going out past the shell at this point. I've had it for about 10 days. I am in the process of moving the tanks so I put this guy in an old tank. As it happens I took out the heater from my old tank. Checked on the clam at night , it was good. I sleep with my outside door open , the temperature dropped to 60 degrees at night , woke up in the morning the temp in my tank is 75 instead of the usual 82 . Well you can guess the rest...
Yeah, a healthy clam wouldn't even bat an eye but this one was on its last leg. =/ At least I tired. His legacy will live on by his nice shell.
