Clams 101 Please

[droinablunt]

I got my first clam at the wet world meeting and then another yesterday at od.

I know nothing about them exept they are spendy and they need light.

They are both the same kind, blue croeca one is 3-4 inches and the other is 6-8 inches.

so if ya know your clams please give me some pointers.


THANKS

You've got plenty of light, just make sure your alk/ca is at least at NSW levels.
