Gaping mouths?

Does this derasa and maxima look to be gaping compared to my other 2? They are all in the same tank.

Clams open their mouth all the time to filter the waters that flow through them, I agree with everyone that the clams look normal. Nothing to worry guys, false alarm here.

Thx. Was just asking because the maxi and the derasa just look to have wider intake valves compared to the other two. Thought maybe they weren't getting enough light since they are a couple inches lower in the tank.
