Just a heads up. bought 2 scallops less than a mont ago and 1 has already died. If I were you I wouldnt buy one. They are very hard to keep. I wish I hadnt bought mine because I am just watching the second one I bought waste away. I even bought that 30 dollar liquid life food for them.

okkk so that doesn't soundlike a great idea.....good luck with yours and i'll reconsider

 

Scallops that are traded in the Mo indusrty don't live long anyways (well, except cat paws and spiney). We get them at a fairly old age. I belive they only live for a year or two in the wild.

 

what do you have to feed them?

 

Phyto plankton of various sizes.
