Not that we've heard of.
I remember one ponder put some in her lily basket and was rewarded the next
year with lots of little baby clams.

Fresh water mussels reproduce by spewing their babies into the water.
They then attach to fish, swim around with them, do some type of life
cycle thing and then drop off. They dont hurt the fish as far as I
know.

You can get mussels mailed to you from Zetts. 1-814-345-5357. They are
$1.00 each and they will ship them to you UPS.

This is a reference to a pertinent reply that I posted on a different
newsgroup regarding clams.

not sure if HTML on these newsgroups automatically picks this up as a
link, if not, just cut & paste it into the browser window.
