FuEl Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Done. If the clam is small cover it with a plastic bottle cut in half. The opening of the bottle faces the top. Pump microalgae into the bottle such that it remains concentrated in the enclosed area for the clam to feed. The bottle is then removed when feeding is done.

SRC Member teebs Posted February 7, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 7, 2010 Oh ok,and thanks for removing them. Is there any other way to feed like maybe prawns from the supermarket??is it necessary to feed them??Thanks Clams are filter feeders and they feed on microalgae like phyto plankton. There is actually no necessity to target feed clams.
