this specific clam was qt’d 6 weeks. in my dt a month. all my clams have been qt’d at least 2 weeks, except for one i got last week. it certainly isn’t the cause. i never saw any stress, except on the clam i lost in the qt. he looked like crap from jump!
but if someone [me] doesnt know what else to look for besides retracting or not responding to light/shadow or mantle problems, which are the common signs of issues, and looking at it when you put in the water… i guess it’s my fault.
Chris and Barb are pretty good autorities on clam thingies like that. I would Pow Wow with them. Mucho experience in dealing with such things. Successfully too, I might add.
thanks ken. i am in communication w/them. it’s frstrating, tho, since all my clams loooook great, and i’m planning a tank breakdown/move to a diff tank/have 2 setups plumbed together, and now this!!
