Clam's puking
 
As the title says my Maxima clam just puked out a bunch of white stuff now my tanks all cloudy. Any idea what it's doing? Never had a problem before had him about 2 years now. Everything tests good.

Now the other one is doing it.

Probably a bowel movement, so to speak.....or not sure if this is correct, but spawning....Didn't see that you had two...

It's spawning. It might be a good time for a water change as the excess nutrients in the water column my cause you some problems.

Buzz 01-13-2010 01:42 AM

Does this happen often I've never seen it before.

It is known to happen in home aquariums - spawning that is. It is HIGHLY recommended to do big water changes as I have read a couple of articles on it wiping out tanks. It means they're healthy at least.

I'm no expert, but I just remember from past reading.

Delphinus had a bad incident awhile back when all or most of his clams spawned and caused a nutrient overload. IMO a water change is in order.

I'm just getting ready to do one I was just getting some video of it.
