Ordered a CROCEA :) - Page 2

It is very pretty.  Just how hard are these kinds of clams to care for?  I have quite a few "cleaner" clams in my tank that, while nice, just arnt as pretty.  Are these things filter feeders as well?  They need really nice lights?  What is the story?

Most need really good lighting.....the Derasa can get away with T5's...I have one in the 29G

Maxima and crocea need high lighting

3" and above are supposed to be easier, and not need to be fed....that is why I got this one bigger.   They need a high level of calcium (400+) or so....

 

I'm no expert...LOL....I had a teeny maxima once...didn't last 2 weeks   :(   I still want a Maxima, but I will not buy one under 3" next time

Some are more expensive then others,.  sometimes SWF.com has the Derasa's on sale...I got mine here last year

 

you just have to shop around...it's really easyto find smaller ones. but when the time comes and you start looking...look for the 3" ...they have a better survival rate  (so I hear)

It was this clam for $70.  He says it is 5 to 6 inches in size.

although that clam looks like a great deal, your tank is far too new for one monsinour
