    Cleaner Clam Question???

    I'll be running my own testing on these clams as soon as my Quarantine tank cycles. It envolves manilla clams and littleneck clams. I'm going to run my salinity at 1.023 and temperature at 74F or 76F no higher no lower. I'll update on how it goes

    The Truth About Cleaner Clams

    I'm not really getting the ppm of the salinity. I'm running my tank about 1.025 right now? Whats that translated into ppm?

    cleaner clam

    Interesting, when I get my Q-Tank running I'm going to throw some in there to see which ones are alive and living well for about a week and put about 3 of them into my main 29gal tank. I'll update on pictures as soon as I get my Q-Tank running. No sand in Q-Tank so it will be able to see visibly.

    From what I hear about littlenecks are the main cause of death is lack of floating particles and also these guys live in mainly brackish waters. The salinity in which they live is lower than our tanks. If your salinity is high around 1.026 or so thats probably the case.

    Follow up. Does any of you still have these clams in your tank. If so can I ask you for your tank temperature. I heard these guys do well in warm tanks still. Littlenecks are found in Baja California off Mexico which is pretty warm water. Just wondering thanks.
