Hi! I would like to say that I recently ordered an octopus, pods, and clams from octopets. Everything seemed to arrive fine and lively.. I put the octopus in one tank and the food in another, and that other tank crashed. I am not sure if this is due to putting in dead clams, or just putting too much stuff in at once.. so if you get them, I'd say take the time to sift through all of them.
Regardless of these dying, I don't know just how much use they would have served. While the clams are what the octopus is raised on, I felt they were a little on the small side.. to the extent that within a month or two they probably would not be very helpful at all. Also from what I understand, these are kind of a pain to feed/keep alive. If I were to order another one, I would skip the clams.
Also -- For the price, if you can get hermit crabs for around $1 each, I feel like this would pretty much equal the nutrition from 10 of these baby clams.. and it feels like they would be a lot easier to manage and keep alive.
Not an expert, just giving you some of my opinions and experience! Good luck
Robert
