I bought this clam at Pet Co. I saw brownish red bugs on it and brownish red flatworms as well? They look like tiny pods but they were a dark brownish red.
I noticed them when I took it out of the bag so it never went in my system. It's in a qt tank right now.
I've fresh water dipped it and picked them off with tweezers and I haven't seen any more of the worms or bugs but I still don't want to put it in my tank and Don't know what to do? Idk how long it can be in my qt tank because it's set up for fish not clams. Only have a small no watts led bar over the tank. I've fed the clam to try and make up for the lack of light but I'm not sure how long the clam can be fed as a supplement for light?
