Feeding Clams

Was going to include some clams in my feedings just to mix up some diets. I see some people use clams in the half shell and others the entire thing to prevent them from flipping over. makes since. My question is how long should I leave this clam in the aquarium. Surely there is a limit to this before it becomes a bit nasty and breaks down. Also, ..do you cut the flesh up a bit or leave it in-tacked. thanks
 
re: cutting up or leaving it, depends on the fish you're trying to feed. some fish will be better at pulling off pieces to eat than others. if you have fish with smaller mouths, you might want to cut or mash it up a little more.

as far as time, i usually let them sit for a few hours then yank them. don't want to give them too long
 
Thanks Mondo. I was leaning towards a few hours soak time max. Soak time was my main concern as I don't want to foul up the system with uneaten food and few scavengers to offset that.
