Pico Tank with Clam

[tang master]

Hello, i was wanting to know if i could keep a maxima clam in a pico tank. I would also love to see pico pics from anyone who wants to help me out. I am just curious on what can be kept in them, how much they cost to get started and maintain?

Thanks alot

a clam would be difficult because the slightest inperfection can cause bad parems in a pico, but it can be done.

 

[tang master]

Do you have a pico?

 

[scottallert]

no, i used to have a 2 gallon pico that made a mangrove canopy out of and had a pistol shrimp in it, but i went out of town and it rained alot and it died.
i kept it outside btw

On the jbj pico, is the light strong enough?

 

[scottallert]

I had a Deresa in my 3gallon pico for months and it grew double its size. Unfortuantly it died durring my move to my new place. It was my fault however since I replaced a gallon of the water with fresh.

However I did a gallon water change every monday and the Tom pico tank I have has an 18 watt light.

Yeah, cool. hat elese can you keep with a deresa clam?

If its in a three gallon I wouldn't have anything else but inverts. I have a pair of pistol shrimp in my 3 gallon. But if you wanted a clam I wouldn't recomend a fish in the tank. Just to small to have those extra nutrients in there.
