<< A problem I've had with keeping these things in a tank is that they "go"
unexpectedly (what are the symptoms of a "sick mussel"? Who can tell?) and
then, if undiscovered, foul the tank - there's an awful lot of "meat" even
in a small one to go bad! >>
Yeah; both of mine died unexpectedly at separate times; I don't know how long
they were dead in the tank. Not more than a few days; I had one green
sunfish, four darters and two goodeids in the tank and none of them died,
despite the undoubtable pollution it created. I siphoned the gravel
immediately after teach one died; I'm not sure what caused it.
