I kept 1 crocea clam for about 2 months before I brought my reactor on line and he did just fine and is still happy. You just have to be diligent in your dosing and testing. When they are growing they are real calcium hogs. It' probably a good idea to at least drip kalk for your top off water.

A good 2 part solutions like C-balance and there are others. I also notice in your signature that you have a snowflake eel. I don't know anything about them other than they are supposed to be messy eaters and can making keeping water quality good more challenging. Don't know if they will eat clam mantles or not.
