No; although clams filtrate water, they are not able to crawl on surfaces eating algae like snails do.

SNAILS
Snail can clean glass, crab cannot. Crab can lift rocks and eat what is under them, snail cannot.
Once a week. Change water every 2-3 weeks. Keep it clean though.
when it rains a snails shell gets clean a snail loves being dirty snail owners clean the shells with wet tissue or a soft tooth brush. hope this helps ;]
You can put a snail in a small 5 or 10 gallon fish tank with a screen. Or one of those plastic tanks with removable lid. They need to be in a closed container, but with breathing holes. But holes NOT big enough for the snail to get out.
Hamster cages are probably better because they are easy to clean. Tanks are likely to get dirty and may get discoloured.
Yes
It depends on how big your tank is. Smaller tanks are usually easier to clean, while bigger tanks will take a longer period of time.
Cipangopaludina chinensis, a cold water snail. Is perfect for cold water tanks. They also reproduce at a slow rate. (one offspring at a time)
