Feeding?

[MizTanks]

Do you spot feed your clam? If so how and what?

[Tom@HaslettMI]

No.

Some claim that small clams need spot feeding but I don't agree. If you feel you need to feed them then I recommend feeding the whole tank a quality live phytoplankton.

I've read a couple of studies on this and they found that just a single fish pooping in the tank is more than enough to feed a clam at any age. I wouldn't worry too much about feeding your clam.

+1 on the phyto! You need to be really careful spot feeding something that is to big (particle size) will clog the clams gills and then it wont be able to breathe.

A friend stopped by and commented on the mantel of my clam being so big~is this not normal?

I think this is ONE time where bigger IS better. Or, at least, healthier!
