How Big?

[Reefer07]

Someone in my club has some clams for sale.
They are crocea's about 3-4" for only $30.
Is that a good size to try out or is there a good chance that it will die? I know how the smaller ones are fussy but what is a good size to start with?

I have a 29 gallon tank with a nice spot for it.
I dose my tank daily with calcium and alkaline supplement.
My levels are as follows:
SG: 1.025
PH: 8.2
Alk: 9.5-10dkh
calcium 420-440
Magnesium is on the higher side like 1500

Right now I only have power compacts but I am ordering a 4x24 watt T-5 setup as we speak so they should be in the middle-end of this week.

If you guys think I should give it the go ahead just fill me in on any other information I should know as far as acclimating them and such.

Thanks for the help,
Zac

That size and price is good. It's the maxima's that are fussy and that is under 2.5"

You should be fine, I say go for it

They are actually 4 inches and he has one psychadelic for $40.
I am going for the psychadelic and 2 of the regular ones. (one for my friend)
