I have a 24gal Aquapod and It seems to be doing well. It has been there for about 2 months and I have noticed some growth. I am also feeding Phytoplankton. I bought it at about 2.5 inches and it's now about 3inches. Link to comment

aaron1987 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Crocea's like to be situated on rock work to begin with, why not just place it in the middle or top of the tank and be done with it? Link to comment

Urchinhead Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Put a rock under it so it doesn't attach to your bottom. You can burry the rock in the sand if you like. But in general, as you should know from your research, they shouldn't be directly on the sand bed due to gill/silt issues. Link to comment

plainrt Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I passed up the sweet clam i had held for me at local swap cause im in process of transfering my cube to the 30 setup and didnt feel it would be good to bring another claminto a tank thats not the most stable already. Im still sad about passing up that clam. Link to comment
subielover Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Oh that's a bummer but great that you are upgrading. Link to comment
