Hi anyone has any idea the types of fish that cannot be kept with clams? Was thinking this can help those who wants to keep clams in the future to look out for, like me

i think youre best off avoiding angels, both large and dwarf angels, eg, koran, majestic, emperor, flame, cherub, etc. the dwarf angels might not nip at clam mantles in some tanks, or for a while, but its still a sizeable risk, so IMO best avoid.

triggers, parrotfish, and larger tangs also avoid as some of these might just peck at the clam mantles for the zooallaenthae expelled in the clams slime layer or whatever but its sufficient to cause the clam distress in our small captive tanks.

hope that helps. not definitive; see others' posts for their opinions too ya.

cheers,

ian
