Also what do they eat? I know the clams are filter feeders but what about the conch?

Conchs are going to eat Detris in the substrate I think?

The clams are unlikely to hurt anything, although they probably won't last long. There's not much food for them to filter in most systems. Standard fighting conchs are fine in larger systems. I don't know what those snails are, though.

Conches like algea and i see none. Clams filter feed and like more mature tanks..I must ask is this tank less then 4 weeks old?

one fighting conch per fifty gallons. They'll starve in new sand.

those are scallops they have eyes well not true eyes. clams do not . and you have to feed them a ton. What will happen is they will move to the back of the tank were u can not see them and then they will die. Why does your tank look a bit on the cloudy side

THis tank is abuot 8 months old. Well the sytem is. The tank i put all the new critters in is my New frag tank until i found out if there safe or not. Just added a bunch of sand thats why its all cloudy.
