How much soy milk should be fed to a single river clam kept in a fish tank at one time?

It is not suitable to feed river clams with soy milk.

The clams are oval and ovate in shape. The shell is thin and fragile. The two shells are bulging, and the back sometimes has a hind wing. The top of the shell is wide and slightly raised, located in the middle or front of the back edge. The shell surface is smooth, with concentric growth lines or green radiating lines from the top of the shell to the ventral edge. The glue part is narrow and has no teeth. The axe foot is well developed, and the sexes are different. The meat is edible and is also a natural bait for fish and poultry, and a feed for livestock and poultry. Some species can be used for freshwater pearl cultivation.

The shells of water clams are very thick, and the two shells have teeth at the back of the shells. The shells have thicker nacre, and are called pearl clams. Another type likes to live in calm ponds. Their shells are very thin, and the two shells have no teeth at the back of the shells. They are called pond clams. Their bodies are very soft and have little mobility, but they have two hard lime shells to protect their bodies. When they encounter enemies attacking them, their soft bodies will immediately shrink between the two shells and close the two shells tightly, forming an impenetrable "iron wall".

There are two well-developed muscles on the body of the clam. It uses these two muscles to connect the soft body to the shell and to close the shell, so they are called adductor muscles. The two adductor muscles are almost the same size, both composed of muscle fibers, and are cylindrical. One is in front of the body, called the anterior adductor muscle; the other is in the back, called the posterior adductor muscle. The adductor muscles have strong elasticity, and due to their elasticity, the shell opens or closes accordingly.

Lifestyle

Clams are shellfish that live in rivers, lakes, and swamps. There are many types, and there are two common types. One type likes to live in flowing rivers. Their shells are very thick, and the two shells have teeth at the back of the joint. The nacre layer of the shell is thicker. They are called pearl clams. The other type likes to live in calm ponds. Their shells are very thin, and the two shells have no teeth at the back of the joint. They are called pond clams. Their bodies are very soft and their mobility is very small. However, they have two hard lime shells to protect their bodies. When they encounter enemies attacking them, their soft bodies will immediately shrink between the two shells, and at the same time, they will tightly close the two shells to form an impenetrable "copper wall and iron wall".

In ancient times, clams were simply called clams, also known as clams, and are generally called river clams, river crooked clams, and river geckos. The toothless horn clams and the pleated crown clams are distributed in rivers and lakes in most parts of my country; the triangular sail clams are distributed in rivers and lakes in the Yangtze River Basin and Hebei Province. After obtaining, remove the shells and take out the meat, wash and use fresh.

Do I need to feed clams when I keep them in a fish tank?

River clams are filter-feeding animals. If there are other fish, shrimps, or other feeders in the tank and they are being fed normally, there is no need to feed the clams specifically.
