Creating a Healthy Aquarium Ecosystem: Tips for Freshwater Clam Care

Caring for Freshwater Clams: Tips for Creating a Healthy Aquarium Ecosystem. This video provides information on freshwater clam care and how to keep them alive by creating a healthy aquarium ecosystem. For best results, place the clams in a well-established tank with a sandy bottom that is 4 inches deep. Add other fish, snails, and coldwater fish to create a vibrant ecosystem around the clams. Augment the clams’ natural food with feedings 1-2 times a week using clam food or a homemade mixture. Regularly check the clams’ health by observing how quickly they close up when touched. Dead clams should be removed promptly to avoid releasing ammonia that can damage or kill other animals in the tank. The video also provides tips on caring for saltwater clams, which should be placed on the bottom of the tank and in a mature aquarium.
