Derasa and Crocea Clams are here
- Thread starter doog

To give any recommendations as to proper clam care, we would need to know the size of them. As they grow, they need less phytoplankton and more light for proper nutrition/growth. If they are only 2-3 inches the most efficient method of feeding I've heard is to take them out of the tank, place them in a separate container and add DTs, Phytofeast, etc. In this way, you can target feed your clam and get a high concentration of food to it. Hope this helps getting you started!

PS- some clams do better on substrate, some do better on rocks. The Crocea prefers a hard substrate to foot on, while the Derasa may be kept on the sand.

What kind of lighting do you have? Crocea needs strong light while derasa only requires moderate to strong lighting. How long has your tank has been running? Clams also requires a mature & stable tank. IME, clams are pretty hardy once they adjust/acclimate to your tank water parameter. Just watch out for pyramid snails. Those are pests that eventually will kill your clams & they usually come out at night once the light goes out.
As Eric said, phytoplankton are suitable food for clam.
