TOO cute, I need a Cory hammock!
Not completely a "bottom feeder" But this his favorite place to hang out!
These are in my 72G tank

Purple Spotted Gudgeon 6+inches long, lfs said about 3-3.5"full grown...

Spotted Raphael Catfish was so tiny when I got him, he was about just a half inch in size. Now 5-6 inches. About 3 years old. In this pic I was catching him to move to another tank. He plays dead...

My clam, I have two clams this one stays on top of the substrate, and the other scooted itself sideways into the substrate and is vertical.

These two were my twins, they died last year. A couple months ago I got two more which look exactly the same, though they are just a little less than half the original twins size, since they are young ones. Siamese Algae Eaters. The original ones were about 6" & 7"

Hi, they are pretty basic. I don't know the real Latin name. They were called "Freshwater Golden Clam" (no additional info available). These, to me seem different than the little Golden Clams with the concentric rings on the top of the shells. What I know is that they need very good flow in the tank. If they die they can foul your water pretty bad. If you have a decent number of snails and bottom feeders they likely will eat up the clam pretty fast, but you should look at them every day just to see how they are.
For a couple years I have wanted some clams and there is VERY little info about them. Heck I can't find their real name. I remember being a kid and we would go fishing and the lakes would have clams sometimes.
I waited until I had a pretty big tank just in case there was a death, with 72G, I am not as worried as I would have been with my 37G. I will post a few more pics sometime this week, my schedule is pretty packed.
The one clam really hasn't done anything, not even really move, but it seems he is still filtering by the small gap in the shell. The other one dove into the substrate with almost no visible shell vertically after 1 week. then it seems it scoots out above the top of the substrate a little more on a regular basis. It is above the top of the substrate about 1.5" now. They are around 4 inches maybe a smidge more.
Then the concern of some species will put off a cloud of tiny clam spawn and could be toxic. Get stuck in the fish gills?!?Not too sure.

Great, thanks!! Unfortunately my current tank is too small, but I'm planning on getting a 50 gallon for my next project.
