Tony, was it that spawning event that caused the loss of your clams or something else? I can't remember.
Laurie. Nice score! Beautiful clams.

Thanks Tony and Lance. I'm up to a whole whopping two clams now I had one a long time ago that I sold cause my CBB developed a taste for it and one awhile ago that decided to commit suicide while I was in Calgary for a weekend, came home and found it upside down in the sand

He's still got one I do believe. I had a hard time walking away from it even knowing it wouldn't be happy in my 5 month old tank.

It might have been, hard to say. The last spawning event the clam did perish shortly after and that seemed to kick off a chain reaction that lasted a few months but they would basically let go one by one.
