Yea, I have heard of that before..... I thought freshwater clams were
hard to keep alive and more died than lived.

I've had mine in this tank for over 8mths... He's still there... Moves
every now and then...

The one in my other tank died and the fish ate everything that was inside
the shell...

Green for water, free ammonia, should not be in your tank. Even if you kill it all is said and UV disinfection is now rotting, it will only repeat the cycle back to ammonia, ammonia is what causes. You must remove the source of the problem, the problem itself. You might be surprised at how much you can remove the dirt green water tanks. Presented at the Fifth dark brown bucket of water, you start to get some idea of ​​just why it can become green.
