I have to agree with JP and Pilly

you need to wait a couple of years, clams are not all that easy to keep.

in the mean time read a good book :) James Fatheree, Giant Clams in the Sea and Aquarium.

I'm going to have to agree...I got 3 clams at 1.5 inches from the wild and had them for a year thriving under pc's...But this was only through very low nirates and phosphates, not naturally but through the use of Methenol to perfection....When Everyone said I couldn't.....

Not everyone can keep clams...Especially small ones...But if you do..... You have to be on top of your game...

I thought clams were easy to keep? I have four croceas thriving under MHs. I also heard they feed on nitrates so you need some in your tank. Better to get the bigger ones(3+inches) cause the smaller ones rely on filter-food as well as light.

Don't know if anyone mentioned this but lighting is one of the most important things for clams since they are primarily photosynthetic. Heres more info if interested.

I got my clams from fish town usa if anyone wanted to know. They told me 30mins is all is needed to acclimate. I didn't listen to them and acclimated them for 1 hr to 1 1/2 hr cause that sounded kind of strange.
