veliferium Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 shld be can la,just make sure ur water params are good enuff and get small specimens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member bubble_gum Posted November 15, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted November 15, 2005 hmm its possible but make sure u get clams smaller then 3inches as at that size they rely more on feedings then light. squamosa, derasa and hippopus will do fine under your lightings but small specimens are hard to come by. the next best thing is a maxima. crocrea is a big nono.... after awhile they will brown out and mantles get thinner then die from my experience keeping then unde 4HO t5. if u wana keep croceas must bite the bullet n get mh an chiller HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
