[acrodave]

yeah i was wanting to avoid doing that

 

[jmaneyapanda]

mortality in clams that small is intense. By the way, the do not necessarily need to be bowl feed. They will consume food, but if you have enough other biological activity in the tank (fish, corals, etc etc etc), they will be fine (food wise).

[ezcompany]

[jmaneyapanda]
