live plankton is said to be the best, they say the dead stuff has less nutritional value and clumps together making it the wrong size for the clam to eat
The need to feed baby clams has been something that I'm really interested in. I currently have a maxima a little over an inch long that I have never directly fed. I add DT's a few times a week, but to the tank in general. So far I've had good results. The clam looks healthy and has put on about 4mm of new growth in about 3 months time, most of which has come in the last 2 months. Has anyone else had similar results? Have people kept track of growth rates of clams they have directly fed? I'm planning to do an experiment with 6 or 8 baby clams, some of which will be fed and some of which will not to see what the benefits are of feeding.
Brandon, I live in Baltimore and at exotic aquatics (www.exoticaquatics.com) they sell DTs.
