Mackayman Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hi Bud. Don't have any "hands on" experience with mussels but I did look into them at one stage, One point to note is if one dies, ya cant tell easily due to their inactive" nature an they can mess up the water quality pretty quick. Of course, that wont be an issue if your diligent about your tank and have adequate filtration. If you get some, i'd be interested to know how ya go.

Sclero p Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I would be worried about the glochidia, one per tank would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smaas Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Used to keep them as a kid with tropicals and never had a problem 2 or 3 to a tank the dam on the property where I grew up was full of them straight from the dam to tanks no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
