its going to depend on your lighting? and what you have in your tank.
how about giving us a brief chat about your tank.....
lighting
size
what fish


but a derasa's are a good one and squamosa's i would go with a derasa thou.
but lets see what you have in your tank first off

Crocea tend to be an easier clam to keep (easy is a relative term when it comes to clams) They don't get as big either which is preferable in a smaller tank.

They require pretty good water params and good lighting but with 250 you have more than enough IMO.
