Toot

Clams are considered challenging animals to keep in aquaria. They can be cryptic, both in terms of burying, and not showing stress until it's too late. Some can starve for months before suddenly dying and causing a pulse of ammonia. If they are filter feeders, they may need a varied diet of phytoplankton to thrive, which means keeping plankton cultures. Giant clams are an exception- since they are photosynthetic, they can thrive under bright lights! #clamFacts
