Is Scallops considered under this topic ?

[gunzo]

filter feeder .. moves by itself ?????????

on top of rocks before dinner .. after dinner come back .. at the base of the rocks hiding liao.. sigh .. want to see the white electrical arcs going around ..

so wha'dya think ?? should I move it to a visible place or let it lie ?? wasted man .. can't see .. just lots of tentacles floating..

[tineng]

yeah....they moved around quite a lot until they find a place where they are comfortable with...normally, this is some place away from sight.....

[gift05]

and they don't really zap if they're not stressed. so if you really wanna see, poke it a lil

i said a lil

[Panzz]

scallops are afriad of lights and tend to hide themselves away from light.

one of the best location to put a scallop and having a higher chances of it not moving away is in caves or crevices with strong water flow and of cos you still want it to be in sight but not in light.

and if it still moves let it search its own place then.

[Panzz]

here is mine in its choosen position.(and quite a good one too.)

[gunzo]

thanks.. it secretes something to stick to the rocks?? i moved mine and it felt that way....

Hi guys,

I got one of these flamming scallops as well...

When i first bought it, the shells are pearly white...

But now it's kinda dark (Seems like oxidation process occured)

Anyway, to see it's 'lightning' is so interesting. Visitors to my house

seems to gawk at it all the time. lol. Also sometimes it applaudes those

visitors by clapping it's shells together as if saying 'kam sia kam sia' ...

How do u guys feed your scallops?

[Copperband]

Not to be negative or anything.... But scallops filter feed.... which means they need alot of food..... i dont think we want to let it have alot of food and ruin our water.. therefore by not having enough food.. it tends to wither away fast....my 2 cents... and in my experience.. i dont think we need to poke it just to see the "electricity"... mine is zapping away all the time i see it....

[Brunei]

Hi bro copperband,

Just wondering what do you feed your scallop and how often?

As u mentioned they need a lot of food and requires constant feeding,

how do u go about doing this?

Thanks for advise.

[Copperband]

last time when i had it.. i fed it liquid suspension food..... those in a bottle type.... but the best will be cultured phytoplankton......i feed it twice daily... once before going school... and one at night before sleep.... u need to suck the food into a pipette and gently blow it onto the scallop.... dont blow it too hard... or it will shut or worse take flight elsewhere.....

The best will be to have a constant drip of food... but that will be inpractical to our house aquarium.......and the lots of feeding will quickly pollute the water.. resulting in a more frequent waterchange for you..

hi .. my scallop seemed to found the perfect place to hide ..

just under a rock arch .. still visible from outside the tank .. it's an area of low flow where all the leftover foods goes to and settle .. I'll monitor and see if it needs more food (er .. how do I tell ??) but it seems happy there .. never adjust position already..

[Copperband]

hello bro gunzo...... congrats on your scallop finding a spot on your reef.....

Low flow ?? perhaps u might like to increase the flow just by abit.... for 2 reasons.. the stronger flow will bring the scallop more tid bits... and also help to carry its waster away.....

If it seems happy..... LEAVE IT ALONE and continue religiously feeding it... make feeding your scallop a habit...haha......

Hi! thinking of getting a Scallop! the Zapping action is way too unique!!

Are all scallop such as flame scallop capable of zapping?

has anyone seen LFS selling recently?

Many Thanks!!

[gunzo]

think Marine Life has a couple handy everytime I'm there

otherwise dunno .. see them occasionally from Ah Beng's ..

Mine has paired up with my boxers (shrimps .. not my shorts )

interesting relationship .. kekekeke ..
