http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog/tridacna-clam-breeding-in-suburbia - if Acro Al can do it, in theory any of us *could* try. Clam farming is very well documented and accessible at this point, hence I'm calling it a B since information is readily available. |

| Other Information: |
I have no specific first success reference, as the propagation of all common Tridacnids is more or less well documented at this point in time. Notable exceptions may be new species described. We should endeavor to add all Tridacna and Hippopus into the Database...this first submission is a reminder to do that. |
