It's abit of a strange one
I have a Copperband and the only way I could get him to eat was with mussels still in the shell. I have only used frozen Mussles until now. I bought some live one's from Tesco 5 days ago. I popped a live one in and put the rest in the freezer.
The live one is still alive...I tried opening it up for my copperband but it just shuts tight... I could just smash it... but I thought it would be too warm for it to survive? Anyway I was wondering if they would aid in filteration if i put a load in my sump? or would they just eat all my pods? As they filter feed would this help with water clarification?
I feel daft asking... but who knows I might be onto something....?
cheers Joe
