Default 2 healthy clams died

We had 3 clams in our tank, and all have been quite happy until the other day. We lost both a good sized maxima & crocea clam that we've had for what seems like ages. We were told that a clams lifespan is approximately 80 years. The clam can be big or small and still have hit the 80 yr old mark. Since both of ours were different types, and they were purchased at the same time, I hardly think their age had anything to do with it. I noticed that their bellies seemed to be puffed up like a pregnant woman, but just figured they were being weird. They really enjoyed their DT baths, but I ran out, and the supplier of DT's just doesn't seem to want to sell them to anyone anymore. I have no idea what his trip is, but he can be darn right rude about it if you ask him. Anyway, about 3 days later they died. I've read though this wonderful thread and don't see anything that would apply. So, can someone advise me as to what might have happened to them? I sure appreciate it!!

On a side note you are right about the guy from dt's with one exception, he has more of a jeckel and hide personallity. One day he wants to deal with me and the next he will say no.
Which tank did you have the clams in. If it was the pony tank they like a little more water flow. A little more info would help me out or I can just check it out hen I drop off the zoo's.
