Looselyhuman Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Nice. How and how often are you going to feed it? I've heard of some that do the immersion feeding thing (cover clam with the cut-off top of a plastic bottle, add a good dose of live phyto, remove when the water clears) every couple days, and others that drip phyto for a constant supply... Edit: drip, not drop. Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Wait, is it dead? Or alive? It looks like it's out of water... Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Wait, is it dead? Or alive? It looks like it's out of water... Tridacnid clams can sit out of the water for hours, such as at low tide... Link to comment

Edit: drip, not drop. Probably a few times a day at least I'm going to just turn off the flow and squirt food over it, see how that goes The bottle thing is nice, but it's not in a position where I could do that efficiently Wait, is it dead? Or alive? It looks like it's out of water... It was in water when that pic was taken Link to comment

yoshii Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Here's a cell pic. It was open a little more, but retracted a little from my shadow Link to comment
Looselyhuman Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 That Stomatella is HUGE! Link to comment
yoshii Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 So is the frag plug! Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 He's so adorable I really hope he gets some blue on him eventually. Link to comment
yoshii Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Isn't he? yeah, I'm curious! It looks kinda brownish? right now but with a little green sheen? It's hard to tell Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Dear Gwen, I am sorry to inform you that the #### is no longer bananas. It is now Yoshii's small clam. Sincerely, Euphyllia Link to comment
x3thelast Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 its a pico clam party!!! Link to comment
yoshii Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 I just finished feeding it phyto, it's so cool to see it suck in water and phyto and pump out water, like a tunicate Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'd say this definitely qualifies as a "tank-raised" maxima. Even if he doesn't change color as he grows he is still one of a kind. Link to comment
yoshii Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 This tank may be getting a fish soon.. a very cute and tiny feesh :3 Hints: A prawn goby but not a Yasha, and sexually dimorphic (I'm getting a male) Link to comment
