Well.....I've tried the clam, the mysis, brine, and pellets (that is was eating), and different combinations suggested, and nothing.(everything else in the tank is thriving, and nothing is picking on him) He now seems to be struggling. (Drat! such a beautiful fish). I've turned of one of my circulation pumps also to give him some relief, any more suggestions?

My 6 yr old CBB will go for right after ANY clam. Ornamental or $0.50 cent ones.

I tried putting a clam in my QT tank (that had the CBB in it) and he went right for the calm after about 2.5 secs.

I am selling all my clams as they have lived in the sump for quite some time now.

Aw that is too bad. Really sorry to hear about your loss. I just hate losing a fish - makes me rethink this hobby every time.
