Lost my clam :(

Well, my clam that I got at the swap bit the bucket this morning. It looked totally fine for a while, but slowly started not expanding on one side. It started spreading and I assumed it was pinched mantle disease. I decided to give it a freshwater dip, since that cures PMD, last night. It was dead this morning :frowning:

That sucks srry to hear.

That is horrible. I did not know you can FW dip clams. I do miss having a clam, maybe one day I will get another.

I was surprised too @JustSumGuy. It is a well documented process going back 10 years, but not one I’d come across before. Seems temp and pH matching are the keys. I guess that makes sense since we can FW dip our fish under the same conditions.

Sorry to hear Adam. That’s a bummer.

How big was it? And what type? Just curious.

Are some varieties hardier than others?

I was actually thinking of getting another one soon, my year end bonus is coming soon.

It was a big one. Probably 5" across. Don’t know what kind though.
