Hey Everyone,

I was thinking of buying a couple of small clams as I have seen the beautiful colours that they come in. I know they are filter feeders, but I was just wondering what things they need to be fed? Also, what supplements are needed to keep it healthy and vibrant in colours.

Do they eat left over food that may fall into it? eg Brine shrimp that i feed my fish.

I have a twin 250 W Metal Halide lighting system with 10k Bulbs (I think thats right?!?) so I think the lighting will be fine.

Thanks for the help,

Breed
