Golden Clams - Substrate Burrower

THERE MAY BE A WAIT ON THESE FROM TIME TO TIME.

a.k.a. Freshwater Asian Clams

(Corbicula fluminea)

Native to: Tropical South Asia, Africa, and Austrailia

Larger than a nickel, smaller than a silver dollar, and usually about the size of a Quarter. You do not need to feed them, they are filter feeders, and they will feed off micro-organisms and waste in your aquarium! When you first get them, acclimate them as you would any other new fish, drop them in your aquarium, and gently push them just a touch into your substrate. They prefer to bury themselves in "small" gravel or sand substrates, so no larger- sized rock substrates. They will move around on their own, and will NOT disturb your plants or their roots.

STOCKING INFO: for aquariums use 1 snail per 6 square inches of substrate space. For Ponds use up to 1 per gallon.

Minimum order: No less than 10Do freshwater clams breed parasites?

ANSWER: No! Their offspring are not parasites, they are clams. The same water filterers not parasites. Not sure where you heard that but that is not true. There is a difference between freshwater mussels and freshwater clams this is where the confusion comes in. Mussell larve are, Clams are not. Mussells are not clams and are also illegal to sell.
