Clam damage or what?

[Wet Paycheck]

I have to admit, I have not had much success with clams. I noticed mine not wanting to open so much. I checked the tissue and I want to know if this looks like it has been snacked on.

Look into freshwater dips for pinched mantle. I don't have a ton of experience with clam issues, but I think that's a good place to start. James Fatheree (sp?) has published a number of really good articles on Advanced Aquarist.

It looks to me like something has taken some bites out of it. In my experience fresh water dips are pretty iffy.

Check the foot (after dark) for pyramid snails.

Didn't see any. Really puzzled here. I think it might be a damsel

Didn't you buy those shrimp off of me? The reason I got rid of them was because they kept nipping at my clams....

Lol. They never come out of the rock work. I put a time lapse up and am about to watch it. Hopefully it reveals something

Good idea! I bet one at night with a red light would be cool to see.

I'd recommend doing a freshwater dip using RO water for 30 minutes, just make sure that the PH is the same as your display. In a few days,you should start seeing some results, if not repeat the process.

What did you find out?

Well I think it was one of my fish. I placed it in my daughters tank and it is fully open now. Thanks for asking!
