baby tridicna clam

[daniella3d]

small clams are extremely PHYTOPLANKTON dependant since their mantle is not yet large enough to provide all their food. So they need light and FOOD, and that food must be live phytoplankton.

DT live phyto is best but it is hard to keep very small clam alive. Their surviving rate is low.
