I have never heard of anyone having success with them. I had one and it died within 24 hours.

If you re-read the link, Bang Guy said "If you keep up the phytoplankton they'll survive 3 - 6 months. If you don't they'll only survive 3 - 6 months." Average life span in captivity is 3-6 months, if you feel this is long enough to have it then keep it, otherwise return it, it will starve either way.

I think they need lots of phyto, and watch your water quality closely. All that phyto can foul your water up fairly quickly. Good luck! :happyfish

Ive had 2 flame scallops in myy 55 for about a year and they still look healthy. But and heres the big But. I keep a softy tank and there is I wouldnt say alot nutrients in my tank. They still have the electric movement and still catch them moving around the tank.
