Mistake with my clam need advice.

Toadfish · 08-20-2003, 07:37 PM

I was siphoning some substrate out of my tank today and a small 1/2 cm pebble fell into the clam's gill/opening. Is there anything I can do? Will the clam purge this on it's own? Need some help here.

The clam will let out a water surge from it's mantle and it will rid itself of the pebble!

Casey,
What happened to the "Flame of Eternal Mystery" avatar.
It made you seem so much more legendary!

Mine have the same thing, especially since I have a very fine substrate. They just blow it out.

This one David?

Yes, I will now avert my eyes in unworthyness!
(Is that a word?)

I will admit the new one was a little hypnotic, if not as catchy.
