Mandinga Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 A couple months ago, I got some great advice from you all about helping my baby maxima. Well, that clam(after I moved it up the rockwork) is doing great. I added a gold rim T. Maxima to my tank about 2 weeks ago, and it just hasn't looked right from the get go. The foot appears to be undamaged, and there are no signs of pyramid snails. The clam reacts to shadows as well.... well, yesterday, I came home and the inhalant siphon hole was about double the diameter what it should be. not good. Any advice? All my levels are steady...and the 3 other clams(1 maxi, 2 croceas) are happy and healthy. thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReeFit Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 maybe its just adjusting? my clams siphon holes change size all the time, not usually double the size overnight but they do change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 I am really hoping it is just adjusting. There are no pests bothering it...to my knowledge... I don't want to jump to conclusions and do a FW dip, only to prematurely kill the clam...I have seen people do this too many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
