Zebra Mussels

[Günther De Vogelaere]

I accidently caught some Zebra Mussels in the wild (fresh water).
They seem interesting animals to keep in a aquarium. I've been looking
arround the web to find some tips to keep them alive, but couldn't find
anything.
Can they be kept in water of 23° Celsius?
Has anybody got any experience with them?

Zebra mussels are an increbibly nasty invassive species.
Kill them all with bleach NOW.

Seriously. The cysts (babies) will probably survive being flushed down a drain
and a trip through the treatement plant. This means that water
changes could potentially introduce zebra mussels into a new area.

Just do the opposite of the instructions for killing them. ;-)
