Pyramid snail survival?

[Rainfords]

My question involves pyramid snails and the conditions for survival without clams.

I was wondering if after a clam dies from pyramid snails and there are no other clams in the tank how long should I wait until I put another clam in the tank. I have heard that pyramid snails will eat other snails and wonder what my best options are for reintroducing a clam. I currently have a sixline in the tank hopefully picking off any remaining visible buggers.

Thanks!

Yes the pyramid snails will probably just start to eat your other snails. Manual removal is the best option.
