Keeping clams?

[camaroracer214]

i have had maxima, crocea, derasa, and squamosa all under t5ho for long term with great success. my tank is 24" tall and i had a crocea all the way down in the sand and it grew like a weed.

Clams are easy to keep. Just make sure that they don't have parasitic snails. If you have these snails, they will kill you clams after a few months.

I have had maximas,derasas, and croceas under my 6 bulb t5 set up with no problems remember though not all fixtures are the same bulbs and reflectors and bal. Have alot to do with it. Saying I have t5's is a little general.

My tank is also a 75 gal.

When you finally do select a clam, there is a little test I've been told about. Take your hand and make a shadow over the clam. If the clam does not pinch its shell as a reaction to the shadow, more chances than not. it won't survive.
