I find them in the sand/mud of creeks and rivers..  Some water has 'em, some

doesn't.   Are there rules for eating freshwater clams (like for oysters - only

eat them during months that have an "r" in the name?)  If Clams are part of your

"clean-up crew" in an aquaponic system (I've used them in my hobby tropical fish

tank for years...), can they be made safe to eat by transfering them to a clean

water tank for a period of time?  Yes, - I know that clean water has no

nutrients in it for the clams.  How long in the clean water before they are safe

to eat, but before they starve?

I have never heard of anyone eating freshwater clams, although I am sure native

populations did so and probably have wonderful recipes....
