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

I received 16 clams one month ago. Currently all 16 clams are thriving in my shrimp/rasbora tank. We get a lot of enjoyment hunting for their little filter mouths in the soil when they come up to feed. Most of the time we don't see more than just the little mouth, but occasionally one or two will unbury itself so we can see it better. I was worried they'd die under the soil but when I've looked, I've been able to find all of them and they bury themselves again shortly after.

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!

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.

They came the next day after I ordered them. The are so small but that’s fine. We put them in an aquarium and the next day we went to see them they had buried themselves in the sand. We will keep an eye on them and hope they start growing. Very happy so far.

Received 16 clams. All came in alive and in the first half hour after I got them acclimated and added to my tank, all but six were already buried in the sand. The other 6 are alive and will probably wait until I turn off all the lights tonight. Great purchase!

All of the clams I received ended up dying after a week. Water is clean and no fish was affected.

Live healthy clams! Great customer service, very helpful with any questions. Clams have been great at filtering my fish pond.

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.
