Clams vs Angel Fishes

[mansiz]

Hi bros, is it true that there is a minimum chance for me to keep clams if I have angel fishes? I have a coral beauty and a flame angel.

i have 2 clams in my tank with flame, flameback, regal and blue face, so far no problem

It understandable as of your concern that ur angels might nip at ur clams. But like hamannbmw said, he has no probs with it. Issue is, it really depends on ur angel fishes' character; some WILL, while some WILL NOT nip at those clams.

unfortunately, no body can tell if it WILL or NOT until u really put them together and observe them. its individual-fish-dependent. make a choice... clams or angels? =)

in most cases, the clam is in dying state hence the angels will start nipping on them. If your clam is healthy, it should not have a problem.. at least from my limited knowledge

i have 2 flame and 2 big clams in my tank. no problems also.

i think before you add the clams, you have to make sure that your angels are accustomed and feeding well on fish food. and also dun starve them when the clams are in.

worth a try, some clams are really pretty.

I think you bros have got a point also, if I buy a giant clam i think the flame angel will not dare to nip on it also. I observe that normally when I bought a clam, the angel will nip it when it's about to extend. Preventing it from extending, if the clam was healthy and extend fully, I think the angel "may" not nip on it. Hmmm
