Hi guys, i have 3 crocea clams.... 2 of them are ok....

But the third one seems to be in big problem... The shell is opend up wide... but the problem is the flesh part of the clam have shrunk alot.. Now i can clearly see the flesh of the clam and reach about half of the shell only..

Initially the clam still quite feshly and when open up the flesh can reach the end of the shell... is it bcos weather hot? but the other 2 of my clams are ok leh...

Lastly the bottom part of the clam suppose to have some white flesh is oso gone...

What's the problem???

Thanks

Prepare for bad news. I experience it before. Was monitoring it for a few days then today saw that its flesh shrunk it also. Try touching it to see if it closes nothing happen. Brought it out and smell it. The results is clear its dead. So expect the unexpected bro my luck is that mine died :( so hopefully you have better luck.

i experienced that once before.

like the rest, it died

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
