Advice on supermarket clams and mussels
Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2017 10:06 pm
Ollie (Fahaka Puffer) is now around ten inches long and living happily in his 300 gallon tank. I feed him everything recommended and always freeze then thaw the fresh live clams and mussels from the seafood counter at our supermarket before feeding them to him.
My question is: do these items that are destined for human consumption actually have parasites? ewwww if so!
I guess we would be cooking them before eating right?
I was just wondering if some of the freshwater clams could actually live in the sand in the tank. Too dangerous?
Thanks and don't worry- I am keeping up with the freezing- just curious!
