Freshwater mussel (Anodonta anatina)
Freshwater mussels filter the water in your pond. They like floating algae, but they also remove floating solid parts from the water. This makes the water clearer. Freshwater mussels are even able to capture nitrate and phosphate in this way. Algae need these substances to grow, so the mussels have an extra positive effect against algae. In addition, the appetite of the freshwater mussels increases at higher water temperatures, so that they purify the water of your pond extra effectively.
An extra asset to the pond and outdoor tubs.
I use them also in my outdoor tubs and outdoor tank. I just put in one in my outdoor tank today. That's why it's still green...
