thinking of buying a clam..what to consider?

[clamsy]

greetings!
as a newbie, I'd like to ask what should I consider if I'm going to buy/add a clam for my tank?
Should I also consider their country of origin? Or etc?
thank you
(sorry if I repost the question..)

tridacnid clam there the easiest but still will be challenging and also the bigger the clam the easier to take care of them.

clams, mmm nummy! clams require stability (tank at least a year for best chance) they need very good water quality and parameters must be maintained in correct zones, lighting is crucial for some and an absolute must for others, some clams live in the sand some on rock, pyramid snails are the major pest along with various fish,crabs etc. There are a couple of major disease's like pinched mantle to learn about, buying a clam is simple, researching its care is a valuable asset
