+1 for dputt88. I have the same cave on my sand bed only large enough to fit a large open scallop and it has a cross stream from a power head on the side of the tank. I recently (2 days ago) purchased a new electric flame scallop and it went right into the same cave.they like caves with an in current. i had this by coincidence before purchasing, that cave should be roomy for them
I wonder why such a short natural life. Too bad they can't just keep growing into larger clams.
Yes but the 'roids they put in food nowadays
Here's a pic
Well think about it. There are tons of animals that have "short" lifespans. For example many small gobies, annual killifish and praying mantises. No matter how much or how well you feed these animals they are destined to die at a certain point. It's evolution. Also, flame scallops are not scallops but are file clams.
