New to Clams

[Corey Shelk]

Hello everyone, I’m new to clams. I have a question. Are any clams suitable for a 20 or 30 gallon tank? Thank you!

You can keep tridacna in smaller tanks but can be difficult due to parameter swings that can happen quickly. Crocea stays small but is the most light needy. Maxima would take a while before out growing the tank, squamosa and derasa would need a future plan as they will outgrow a small tank quickly. Stable parameters, plenty of light and some nutrients are needed.
