Clam sticking out it's tongue???

[Delphinus]

Well, my questions have finally been answered.

The clam is no more. :(

Do people really have these guys for more than a few months??? Man, I thought I did everything right this time. I dosed DT's. I have good water quality. I bought farm-raised over wild-collected. I kept away nuisance tankmates. My calcium is good. My alkalinity is good.

Why do I love clams so much? Why do THEY hate me so much?

... sigh .... I am so depressed right now.. :(
