Vitamins and clams

Peabody · 01-05-2003, 07:19 PM

Hi all,

I'm trying to usher 2 beautiful Maximas into adult hood (They are about 2 inches each) I have been feeding them every 2 to 3 days in a bowl with DTs as many do.

I remember reading recently that Clams really dig Vitamin B (I think Barry said it) Would a drop or two of Selcon in the bowl be benificial to the clams? (HUFAs, Vit C, Vit B12) I figure if anything it will do nothing for them, and couldn't possibly do any harm, right?

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Jeff Rogers

DT's are purportedly complete food. If you decide to go ahead with supplementation with Selcon, start with very dilute dose like 1 drop once a week. It is better to err on underdosing than overdosing. If clams tolerate it maybe you can increase to three times a week and see what happens, if anything. Do this gradually.

I agree with the above post. Do it slowly if you do anything at all. My maxima's are growing great with just DT's and VHO's. That doesn't mean the additive won't help, just be careful. Too much of even a good thing can be bad.
