From Pond To Tank...?

[Ctriolaire]

Hi, I haven't cycled my tank yet so I won't be adding anything yet, but for the future would it be Okay to move a swan mussel from my pond into a 48l tank with 6 tetras and a betta?

No, it will just die, they require a specialist diet and if it dies it'll more than likely nuke your tank.

No; mussels and clams do very poorly in tanks.

There just isn't enough flow or food for them in aquariums and it would just die and pollute your water.
