Which one, specifically?
I'd advocate what I can't think said. Derasa or squamous (derasa is probably slightly easier but grows faster). I really wouldn't recommend a Crocea or maxima as a first clam
Looking up squamosa, I'm really liking the colors and patterns better than the derasa, so I think that's what I'll try.
The Squamosa is the nicer one IMHO, clams are known for the life they hold under the scutes, Deresa don’t really give that unfortunately as their scutes can be delicate and easily broken (That is if your specimen ever grows them).
Okay n_n
Their live aquaria post has them listed as difficult to care for. My guess would be that's finicky eating related. They are also sand sleepers so have a softer sand type. Sand sleeper and fish of that body type are also often regularly jumpers so have a lid. Idk how well they do in captivity in the long term
If this is what I remember it to be, these guys are predators and tend to pray on fishes slime coats
They look a lot like bluestripe fang blennies which are the ones you're talking about I think right? Are they the same thing? If so they really shouldn't be in a tank with other fish
That’s the species I was thinking of, they are two separate species but I mixed them up.
Weird, neither this site not LiveAquaria says anything about that or them bothering other fish. I'm gonna have to do some digging.
The fish they were thinking of is a different fish that looks very similar. This one shouldn't do that, but it is still listed as difficult
The just one more itch is tough. It'll take you months just to get your listed fish into the tank though so reasonable
Unfortunately, it's going to take me months to get to the stocking at all.
