Is this clam in trouble?
http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/...psea068c06.jpg
My clam is showing alot of inner shell today and yesterday, is this normal? |
from my luck with clams, would say it's on the way out. Sorry
|
Noooooooooooooooo...what can I do?
|
Freshwater dip that thing, might not work but its gonna die if you do nothing anyway
|
I question fresh dipping a clam
what would be the benefit? it is a invertebrate and typically don't mix well with freshwater have you done this before? on another note, I don't think the clam will make it regardless of what you do. |
What's in the tank with it?
Any new additions? Water parameters? How long have you had it? |
The picture in my signature is of this tank. This tank is new to us, we bought it from a guy here in our town. It's been in our house for almost a month. New things that have been added in the last week are: RTBA (extra small, other side of tank) and a Kenya Tree. We just did a 30% water change 4 days ago.
Temp: 80.5F PH 7.96 Salinty 1.026 |
I'm not going to fresh water dip it.
There are two clams in my tank and both have been in there for almost a year. The other one seems fine. |
This clam is massive, if it dies I would expect a huge spike in my nitrates and ammonia. I have a 40 gallon in my basement, should I transfer it to that aquarium? It's running MH 250 W. My thoughts are that if it dies in that one a water change would be much easier.

I'm not so sure its a goner like the others....but something is definitely bothering it. Do a close inspection and see if there is something on the shell. I had a snail that parked it self on the shell but close enough that it kept touching the mantle. The clam was closed up for a couple days until I saw the snail and removed it.
