Best Book on Clams

[24Tom]

I am curious about keeping tridachna clams and wonder what are the best books available? Also can clams be kept with hermit crabs?

Me too.

I third the nomination.
There is one thing this book does not say, and that is to FEED the clams. DT's seem to work great.
This is just something to think about, and makes more sense when keeping a stocked tank, especially with multiple clams.

Look like it is unanimous. Thanks I will order it.

Oh, pooh! I tried to get my vote in for Knop as well, but it seems that you've already closed the polls...

Actually, I don't even know of any other books on clams

I met Daniel at MACNA in Louisville, and he was kind enough to sign the copies of his books that I had bought from one of the vendors there.

Didn't Gerald Heslinga (sp?) write a book while raising clams in Palau? I think it was Palau...hmmmm...somewhere down there.

Gerry has written and co-authored quite a few things, but I don't think they really apply on the hobbyist level.
