So I decided to get some to see if it really works, they all died on me and made a really really big mess in my tank!! But the ones in my gf's tank all survived! I think these guys need sand substance for survival; they need to dig in and hide and also a high ph. Gee Gee !!I think I just learned somthing new!!

Well, I'll have plenty of that this summer... seriously though, I am a bit shaky over these being legal to keep in my home state of California. I am pretty sure zebra mussels are illegal at least, just because if they're released into the waterways they can cause big environmental messes... I don't know about the clams though. I guess if they reproduced in your aquarium you could just eat 'em... ><>

Since they are filter feeders if they're kept in a messy tank (think of pleco poo) they'll die. I wouldnt' spend that much on them. ^_^ [hr width='40%']"Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness I need to calculate,what creates my own madness... and I am waiting for disaster"
