Squamosas are one of the easiest clams to keep. You shouldn't have any problems with regular parameters and the lighting you have. They do grow fast too.

They are the best clams to keep, IMO if you have a somewhat larger tank. They do grow fast and get big, so plan for that.

They will use up quite a bit of calcium, alk and magnesium, so have a good system to replace.

I regularly keep blue squammies in my tanks - my favorite clams now that teardrops are nearly impossible to get.
