hmm yah but leopard wrasse is the best bet... sixline's diet quite diverse so beside snail they will feed on other things... try leopard wrasse very effective but this guy very poor acclimitizer.... do you dip your clams be4 putting into the tank

[chinmo]

nver wor.... think i better get a leopard wrasse soon, just in case!

I think dipping your clams would be stressful to them.

[chinmo]

True true..... that's why i didn't, unless i see the clams mantle pinching... did once only, Lagi stressful for me! Pinch gone, clam happy!

Yup but its the only way to prevent any hitchhiking pyramid snail... cos once they are in your tank, can almost say bye bye to all the clams liao....

Last time bro roidan has a magnificent clam tank... he once told me that before he add any clamsinto the tank, the clams will have to undergo FW dip to prevent any pyramid snail...

Bro! My Blue Tub still have space leh! My CEO gonna killed me this weekend when she sees....

lol..... no worries bro. If she can't beat you, you joined you. Anyway, with you kind of standard, I am sure she is more proud than angry with you.

hi,

thanks for sharing where u get the clam. I went down to RB this morning and the condition is getting very bad. They have 3 tanks of Squamos, of which 2 tank are dying and only 1 tank left with some "gaping" ones.

I can safely say that u got the best of them all. I bought one and it looks fine so far... I just feel sad that these beauties have to live in that kind of condition. I doubt by Monday there will be any more left.

[Oceandeep]

how much u guy spend on these clam???

[joeyttk]

at RB is 50,

I currently have a monster in my tank which I paid 80 for, and it is really huge. I love the size.

My conclusion is... the pyramid snail problem is really gettign out of hand.. now nearly every clam has some

Better check man.. but crocea easy cos dun have the scale like what maxima and squamosa have... so very easy to spot them... If corcea got pyramids snails.. the snil will usually hide near the byssal
