Squamosa Clam - Can we place them up high on rock?

chrisbenavides · 07/24/2006, 12:35 AM

I know that the Derasa clam can be placed and should be placed only in sand, BUT, what about the Squamosa clam? Can it be placed up high on rocks?

Thanks!

Just read that the Derasa and Squamosa clam will out grow your tank in a year. Is this true? I have a 55g tank. will they out grow that in a year. I will upgrade to a 125 in a few months, but still.

Ok....now people are telling me RIGHT BEFORE I place my order that Derasa are prettier and probably more colorful. Is this true? Placing the orderin the next 30 minutes. Need to get some shut-eye, but need to place order now so it can ship out tomorrow. Thanks!

Gosh what to do? Maybe I should just get one clam and a Yellow Fiji. The reason all this started was that I was told the Yellow Fiji Leather do not ship well. So I decided on getting a clam or two. But now I am debating (due to room in the tank), if I should get 2 Derasa clams in a 55g tank, or just get one and a Yellow Fiji Leather.

What do you think?

i think you shoudl research more instead of getting impulsive bro. might work out better in the long run

I guess when one classifies himself an addict, he is impulsive. But in reality I do not buy on impulse, but rather buy when majority agrees.

Sorry guys if I have annoyed some of you with my rushing of questions. I just needed some answers by tonight because I do need to place the order to recieve the stuff by Tuesday. Having company over on Wednesday and would for the people to see some new stuff.

Thanks!!!
