Most prob molting and hiding in some cave... I don't think cleaner shrimps attack each other, especially when they have been tog for some time. I know mine don't.

Unless you have some predator hiding in your tank, otherwise you might just see it again in a couple of days.

tank kinda just settled down... bought the black sand from aquamarin, mix it with the black sand i used to use from iwarna... prefer the one from iwarna, the black colour is darker and nicer...

but normally after molting it'll take about 1day to come out....

and i think they always molt together.. this time only saw one.. haha..

anyway, i hope that one particular shrimp is somewhere out there hiding...

doubt theres any predator in my tank..

all my fishes are all harmless..

unless its stuff hidden within the LR which i dont know...

My cleaner shrimp jumped out of my tank once found it dead and dry <_<

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

can i ask is this the widest that my clam can open?

or it can open even bigger, i'll just have to give it time to get used to it

it can open bigger, give it time.

if tmr or the day after next is still like that, its either ur tank got problem or ur new clam.

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.

I feed DT phytoplankton every 2 - 3 days.

just pour 5ml into the tank.

Off the skimmer for 1 hr.

I read somewhere that if your clam is still in baby stage (less than 3 inch), you will need to feed it.

adult clams will be able to make use of strong lightsource to make their own food via their mantle.

nope... never heard of it.. only heard of petmart.. haha..

Go to AM, and ask for Shellfish diet. Very concentrated microalgae that can last you at least 6 months (do check the expiry date). Very economical.

6months?! woo!

thanks for the info...

after this bottle, i'll go get that from AM...
