Emergency Moral Dilema

[Delphinus]

I thought that clam spawns in captivity are a bad thing. Basically, they choke to death on their own gametes or it clogs their gills or something like that -- because in the ocean the spawn is very quickly carried away and dissipated into the ocean -- but in our tanks it has nowhere to go so it very quickly progresses from a "hey this is cool" to "OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING?!!".

I wonder if this is what's happened to you, and not this dreaded clam disease. Well of course it could be that too but I'm just wondering.

Of course, I am still sorry for the other losses. I know your pain! All too well. I really, really hope this one pulls through for you!
