Clams feed from the water, not like grazing snails

Corbicula are bivalves. The Purple and Javanicus offers sit alongside a White Corbicula sp. offer whose label does not identify an exact species. Check the complete listing and its needs; a clear-looking aquarium is not proof that suspended food is available. Plan suitable fine food carried through the water.

Keep the animals accessible for regular checks

Provide suitable substrate and keep track of where the clams settle so that their condition can be checked. Monitor feeding and water quality, and do not rely on clams to make an unsuitable aquarium clean or safe. Never release aquarium animals into outdoor waters.
