The mussel is still in my aquarium and is alive though not particularly
active. I found it prone on the substrate in the creek, slightly gaped,
minimally responsive to touch, it now is upright, filtering, and responsive to touch. I intend to put it back into the creek this weekend.

Hi Caitlin,
Great post, very interesting. I am wondering if there is anyway if the said mussel could be tagged in some way. Whatever caused its' illness in the first place could still be in the creek. Fish and I believe most water and sea life have low stress levels and once stressed they can take some time to recover to full health. I am not sure there would be a safe way to mark it for later identification though.

I have not yet chimed in on this list, but I am sure that I would get some good responses if I were to ask how best to get started growing mussels in captivity

I for one would be very interested in knowing more about this subject. Fancy goldfish I have kept in aquariums and bred in ponds but the breeding of mussels I know nothing about as yet. I would like to try it in the future. Please let us know if you get any information on the subject. Thanks again for the interesting post.
