Clams. every question.

[astronaut]

i really like tridacnid clams, but i dont know if i will be able to keep them in my tank. i have a 90 gallon with 412 W of PC's. i know that maxima and crocea are definitely out of the question, but what about derasa and/or squamosa? if i did, would a bed of babies be best? would they survive on the sand bed, or would i need to make some sort of bed at the top? or should i just not get one? any suggestions or answers to those questions would be greatly appreciated.

derasa' and squamosa's live on the sand and with ur lighting i would say that a derasa would be a great start. as for baby's, they need to be feed a lot,in general clams that are 3 to 4 inches are the hardest to ship and adjust to changes the best so i would say get on in this size range and then in time u could try a smaller one

:lol: I only changed it because it changes the meaning of what you were saying... Hardest to ship and Hardiest to ship are very different.

cool, thanks for the advice. ive decided to add 400W of MH, so i will have 620 W over a 90 gallon. i will start with derasas or squamosas, because they seem to be easier, but i should have the lighting to try electric blue croceas woohoo. and acros ;-)
