So this is the first thing in 3 weeks that I have seen in my tank that I did not put in there. I was starting to think I got no hitch hikers on my rock. It looks like a clam of some sort. It is climbing up my glass anyone know what it is..??

I took 3 pics this is the only one that came out.

Looks like a bivalve of sorts.

 

[ducati1212]

is it common for bivalves to crawls up and down the glass.? He is actually trying to get on my powerhed right now.

I know I know I am too excited about my clam.

But...

I now have 3 very small clams all climbing up my glass. Could I be having some sort of clam explosion..

its always so exciting to find the first signs of life in your tank, untill one turns into nine thousand!:lol:

Neat, I don't believe bivalves survive well in our tanks tho. I have no idea why they are climbing up your glass.

 

[SDguy]

Many bivalves have a foot they can "crawl" with. I have never seen one climb glass though.

I had the same thing in my tank. I was wondering what it was. It climbed right up the glass by my powerhead.
