do I need to FWD my clams? (not opening too much)

[fishboy19]

I got them a few days ago from clamsdirect...Barry is a wonderful guy... But 2 of the 3 little guys seem to not be opening very much. I'm wondering if its from them being so little? They are only about an inch and an inch and a half. What do ya'll think?

I really want these guys to make it!

Thanks in advance,

How are your water parameters? Is your tank clam friendly, meaning is your light system up to par? If the mantels are pinched then yes, a 10 minuit FWD and then a bowl feeding of DT's or whatever brand or Home brewed live phyto you have....I have been in the same situation recently, my clams have had pinched mantels though...

Well, I tested them last week and they all came out ok (well within the right range). The reason I think its the clams is because of the 3 I got from him, only 2 are looking pinched.

Thanks for the advice,

the large blue one looks ok and so does the gold one on the left,the small blue one on the right might still be aclamating to ur tank but it dosent look like it pinching, i wouldnt do anything right now. feed live phyto every other day for now and if it gets any worse the post back, but i think they will be ok
