I have 2 crocea arriving this morning From Divers Den and I have a question.
Live aquaria's acclimation quidlines say that clams should never be exposed to air. Then I just read read a post that said clams are often found in tidal areas and exposure to air is not going to harm them if they are high up in a tank and they are exposed to air during a WC.
SO my question is after the clams have been acclimated to my tanks water and I go to remove them from the bag to place them in the tank Can I just pick up the clam out of the bag and place him in the tank. They would be very briefly exposed to air. Or do I need to do as Live Aquaria says and sink the bag in the tank and then remove the clam which would always remain in the water??
What have you done?
