freshwater mussels of the world

[MABE BRAZIL]

Hi Caitlin,
Following our conversation in the other forum, this is a very informative site about freshwater mussels. It cover many aspects of north American, South American, Australia and Africa generas. I hope you and the other members of the forum enjoy.

Lamprotula pearls are really the epitomie of nacreous beauty.

The name rung familiar when you mentioned (and then run a search and found Zeide's picture!), but it was for Vietnamese pearl nuclei, unfortunately, not pearls... Is this mussel used for pearl culture anywhere?

With all due respect, I posted this link in November. It is a mere 5-6 threads below this one. I guess I should make it a "sticky".
I have poured over this list many times. However, it has not helped me find the best mussel for my tank.

Look. Here are some pet mussels sold to live in aquariums....
