Hondace Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hihi, Manage to catch my clam spawning & took some pics. However, it died a few days later. Not too sure if it is due to old age or was it exhausted after spawning & go to heaven! Pic below shows it start to spray out its sperm.........the whole tank was milky & my fishes had a great time feeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondace Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 Clearer pics.........can see the sperms being spread out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondace Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 last pics as my dig cam ran out of memory....shoots!! U can see the eggs coming out. it already clouded my whole tank...probably thousands over eggs as it kept spreading again & again. BTW, anyone know why it died after that?? I thought it was doing well & that's why it spawn. fyi : i have 2 more smaller clams & they r doing well, colouring up under my 150W MH.

Assillian Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Looks like more to zooxanthellae expullsion, IMO your clams don't look healthy either as the mantle has retracted to the near shell already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondace Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 It was doing well previously but I did notice that its mantle was sort of torn at one place 2-3 weeks earlier. Couldn't find the culprit and it seems to be fine until it spawned. So far, my tank is fine & none of the LS or corals r affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
