🐚 Freshwater Clam (Live Aquarium Clam)

Add something truly unique to your aquarium with a Live Freshwater Clam. These fascinating invertebrates are a natural and functional addition to tropical freshwater tanks, offering subtle beauty while helping support water clarity through natural filtration.

Perfect for planted aquariums, nano tanks, and peaceful community fish setups, freshwater clams are filter feeders that draw microscopic particles from the water column.

🌿 Why Choose a Freshwater Clam?
Unique live invertebrate for freshwater aquariums
Natural filter feeder that supports water clarity
Peaceful and safe for community fish tanks
Ideal for planted tanks and nano aquariums
Interesting burrowing behaviour in sand substrates.

📏 Care Requirements
Type: Live freshwater filter-feeding clam
Tank Size: 20L+ recommended
Temperature: 18–26°C
pH: 6.5–7.8
Temperament: Peaceful
Diet: Microscopic food particles, phytoplankton, fine suspended foods

Freshwater clams thrive in established aquariums with stable water parameters. In very clean or heavily filtered tanks, supplemental liquid invertebrate or filter-feeder foods may be required.

🐠 Compatibility
Suitable for peaceful tropical fish, shrimp, and snail aquariums. Avoid housing with aggressive fish or species that nip at invertebrates.

Important Notes
Freshwater clams may burrow into the substrate — this is completely normal behaviour. A soft sand or fine gravel substrate is recommended. As filter feeders, they are best suited to mature aquariums with stable conditions.
