Freshwater Clams

[WLuke93]

I was looking around on the internet and noticed you can get freshwater clams for your aquarium, i thought this was cool as its something different in the tank and apparently they're good for your tank aswell, i read abit and it said dont keep them with crabs and lobsters etc, but are they able to be with shrimps, pleco's and khuli loaches?

I'm not sure about the questions you asked, but i've read some bad reviews about them, and have had 2 in the past. They are filter feeders, and need unusually dirty water, which obviously is bad for an aquarium. Mine died within a few days.For the first few days they will clear the water, but after that you'll need to put invert food in for them. Alot of the time you wont even be able to see them because they burrow in the sand. I think they are more trouble than they're worth.

cheers, although they seem rather interesting to have, they seem hard work for something you'll barely see, i'll probably stick to shrimps which are alot easier to look after
