Start by getting this book and reading it first to have a better understanding of their requirements, size, care, etc... Depending on how much space you have (both on the rock work and sand) available will help determine what specie(s) will do best in your tank. My top 3 choices for beginners are derasa, squamosa and crocea.
But regardless, no one has perfect water, but you should strive for stability. You mentioned an eel, what species? They may not be compatible with clams?

I think you should be okay with a clam, they prefer shrimp and other motile inverts and smaller fish. But with anything, caution is advised.
