Has anybody tried keeping mussels to clean their tank? I live near the beach in So. California. Years ago I took home some mussels I picked off the rocks on the beach. I put them in my tank and they attached themselves and did really good for a long time. They lasted a year or so with out any special care from me. They were in my fish only tank on some live rock I had in there. These were just ordinary black mussels you see on pier pilings etc.. I think I might try again with some really small ones and see what happens. It gives the tank a little black color too.
I just thought I'd chime in and see what the experts think about this.

Thanks
