Have always read and been told to have my tank established for a year or so to give it time to be stable enough for a clam. Just the "better safe than sorry" mentality I guess. Although I have considered a very small one for my nano tank but still worried about stable water quality.

I am not sure to be honest. When I found out that I had to wait a year or so, I stopped looking and researching them. Something along the colors of the one missionsix posted, the blues. Don't really care for the browns.

Crocea would be a good long term nano clam as they max out at right around 6" Maximas reach up to 14", it just takes them a long time to get that big.

Now that is pretty cool. How many clams do you have in the tank and what size tank is it?

Oh yeah, Welcome to TRT!
