you can find Aboriginals in Australia but I'm not sure they would like living in a tank 
You can usually find the mussels in the muddy bottom or attached to submerged logs/ branches. We usually walk around in the muddy water with bare feet and feel them out. However, I wouldn't advise doing this in the Crocodile river, you might not last long with the water dogs. Some of the mussels have sharp edges where they have been broken and this can cut your feet too. You can feel them out by hand if the water is shallow enough, or use a net and drag it through the mud.
The mussels can be kept in any tank with 30litres or more of water. Have a small air operated sponge filter on the tank and let the water go green if you can. If not wipe the algae off the glass and squeeze it out in the tank water. The mussels will filter it out. If they are kept in really clean water you should feed them a couple of times a week with a liquid invert food. These are usually made up of zooplankton and phytoplankton and can be made by blending up fish, prawn, algae, etc and then adding a small amount of the liquid to their tank a few times a week.

Sounds challenging Collin... When the water level drops a little, I'm certainly gonna try & get some....
not to be funny but the puddle at the bottom of the top pic loo ks very interesting!!!
yeah, its well worth it, after a good boil and wash it should be fine to use!
i can't believe you've posted this then side tracked away from it, i'm assuming I'm thinking the same as you were and were commenting on the shape of the puddle !!!
If i'm wrong then please accept my apologies for lowering the tone of this thread !!

Did not really feel like going out there today, but only because I promised.... This is a low level bridge, (discharge side obviously) which was about 4 meters under water about 2 weeks ago...(and I enjoyed the trip)...
Once again I have problems downloading from Photobucket, so, I'll have to post one at a time.....

This is on the approach side of the bridge....

This is some of the rubish (& driftwood) that was washed up during the flow.... Deep down under this lot, might be a good piece of wood.....

This tree is about 4 meters up from the current bridge level, & would probably be part of the "driftwood" during the next flow....
Sorry folks..... I'm not trying to keep my posting tally up.... It's merely because Photobucket won't allow me more than one post at a time.

These are the Iron ore mountains surrounding the town of Thabazimbi... Lots of mining taking place here and also occassional confrontations by the employees with wild Leopards still roaming the area.....
