    picked up a baby littleneck at the job (seafood restaurant). i asked for the smallest one possible so it can adapt easier. its been about two weeks now partially buried in the sand and filtering. i don't have a protein skimmer yet so he has plenty of food i would imagine.


    anyone have tips on these guys for the long run? i hear they live from canada all the way to florida so they can adapt to tropical temps...the main issue is just making sure they get enough food, right?

    I'm not sure what to say here.
    Could you post pics?
    I am actually assuming here, are they some sort of shell fish?
    Forgive me if I'm wrong but I have never actually seen them in the aquarium hobby.
    If possible some more info on them and ur tank's parms would be a huge help.

    Ohh I see,
    I'm afraid I have no idea of neither the care nor the feeding requirements for this type of clam.
    Hopefully someone else should chime in.
    My best guess would be the regular requirements for other types of bivalves.
    Clean water, some nitrates and suspension foods.
