***New*** 15 Baby Live Freshwater Clams: Perfect for Aquariums and Ponds Brown, Gold, Tan, Silver 1 Count (Pack of 15)

Lástima llegaron 5 muertas, pero entiendo que tomó varios días el envío así que 10 vivas es un logro! Me encantan. Gracias

It seems that all but 1 survived. I put them in our established tank immediately after arrival. 1 died but the rest dug themselves into the substrate and seem to be doing well. They will occasionally move around and come to the surface.

All were alive on Arrival and seem very healthy

The media could not be loaded. They came in mostly alive…. Placed them into the tank and within two hours about half had buried themselves and all but Three had buried themselves by the end of the second day…. Over the next few weeks I ended up with nothing but A bunch of empty clam shells sitting on the surface. They each came back to the top and died. Now I did have these guys shipped during one of the massive heat waves this summer, so maybe they were terribly stressed during transport and just didn’t recover very well. At this point I think I have one survivor left…. Very very sad.

Size wise, they are small; however, I wasn’t expecting them to be huge! The photos they provide are on point! They all arrived healthy as can be and are still going strong! I like the idea that they play a cyclic part of their ecosystem, but really…even if they didn’t….they’re just a really cool & unique addition to an aquarium!My daughter and I both like to see their tiny “fingers” of fringe stuck out and swaying in the water. I really wish more people knew about getting them for an aquarium! I’ve kept a lot of different living creatures across the years and with a biology background…you would have thought my aquariums had these at one point…but, they never did (these went into my daughters tank). I truly never thought about adding them before…pet stores (local and online)…you will see snails, crabs and snails as unique freshwater additives…but, you just don’t see these guys! I’m really thankful I came across these on Amazon! Hopefully more people see them, too! They’re a pleasure to add to the tank!

I ordered 2 batches of 15 for an aquaponics system holding about 450 gallons.All of the clams arrived alive (I waited until fall for cooler temperatures), and started situating themselves and/or doing the snorkel thing immediately.I have found one of them dead after a week or two, but I have handled them excessively and it may have ended up buried in anoxic mud or something, and I expected them to be much more sensitive than they are, so I'm pretty happy.Surprisingly, these are much more entertaining than I expected. They also fill a niche that I think will benefit the good work my shrimp and snails do by keeping the water column more clear of bits that shrimp and snails can't really catch.I need to keep the water more nutrient rich than I can reasonably maintain for fish, so the garden of plants that have their roots in it can grow and fruit, but not be overwhelmed with algae and biofilm. It looks like these clams are doing all the things that I expected except for dieing back, so the next question is going to be if they will undergo a population explosion and get stuck in the pump and water lines. It holds up to Trumpet Snails though, so I don't expect a clampocalypse... yetI'm looking forward to collecting some, if they reproduce, and making a little 'stream bed' for them to catch whatever small bits come out of my spin-down filter, which always has flow due to a smaller pump running in parallel.

They gave us 18 not 15 but many died the first few days and got eaten by the other aquamarine life. We ended up with half of them surviving and burrowing into the sand. Not sure how much help they will be for our tank but sure is fun looking at them burrowing and much cleaner than snails.

These little guys are so look ok cool! I put them in a small aquarium of sand and sunk it in my patio fish pond. I loved watching them burrow down! Can't wait for my grandson to see them!!!!
