how big is tiny? if it is smaller than 1 1/2'' then you will need to supplement feed with Phytoplankton and other filter feeding foods, do your research because this clam needs more than just perfect water quality and high light..

You dont need to suppliment feed small clams. No sense in adding phosphate in a bottle.

Tiny/small clams cant benefit from sunlight like large ones because of the small size of the mantle, so they filter feed as well as use sunlight. so I guess they do filter feed off the organics that are already in the water..

that is why I still had the dt, it wasn't good on my chemistry before, but I thought the clam needed it?

They benefit just as much as a any other sized clam. The mantle proportionate to their size.

size
it is 1 inch and 5/8 using my cheater tape measure with all the lines labeled. I held it to the tank and looked through the water, but pretty sure the size is correct, it might be a little smaller, but more than 1.5"
