Appropriate
Home An aquarium with an
external power filter with a BIO-Wheel, and a
maximum of 1/4 inch of
gravel. We know that these clams do well from 65 to 82 degrees F., so they will do well in both cool
water aquariums without a heater and warm water aquariums with a heater. Click

aquariums, or click

Recommended Diet
These clams are filter feeders, filtering what they eat from the water that they live in. They seem to do
well in aquariums, and we have kept them for many months.

Size and Lifespan These clams are usually about 1" to 1.5" across the shell, but we have heard that a few are as big as 2" across the
shell. We don't know how long they can live, but they can live for at least a few years.
The clams you are advertising are most likely Corbicula fluminea - a highly invasive species that is rapidly spreading in US
waters - displacing native species.
Unfortunately, when people tire of aquarium species - or they become problematic they elect to 'dump' them into a pond or lake rather than finding them a home or digging a hole
and burying them. Aquarium dumping is a major pathway for invasive species.
One good example of what can happen is the snakehead problem that has been recently made national headlines. The hundreds of thousands of waterbodies across the US that are
infested with elodia, milfoil, salvinia, azola and other aquarium plants are another prime example of aquarium dumping that is costing the taxpayers billions each year for
control and eradication.
You have a wonderful website and I will no doubt purchase some cichlids from you in the future. However, I would encourage you - and other mail order houses - to include
information that explains why these animals and plants should never be put into public waters - or even into private ponds where there is a chance that flooding may spread them
into public waters.

About our Fish Photographs ...
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
;^ }
Will the fish you get from us look like the fish in our pictures? No! This is similar to buying kittens and puppies, that will change as they grow to become cats and dogs. We stock and ship fish that are the ideal size to sell. Not so small that they will not do well when shipped. Yet not so big that they have become much more expensive. The fish in almost all of our pictures were young fish like the ones we have for sale that we raised up, and you can too!
