Can I put this in my tank?

Put 5 in a bowl of tank water and they opened up! the rest are boiling nicely with some hot sauce

should I toss a couple in the fuge? looks like they want to live

I wouldn't. You never know what they are coming with. Also i believe they are a cold water species. They probably won't do good and pollute the system when they die.

Looks like a crash waiting to happen to me. just my opinion though, not necessarily based on facts

If those are caught from around your area they are "cold water" mussels and will die and polute your warm water system.

OK then, I will eat them too

thanks

bottoms up, or sides, or whatever you want to call it.

As weird as this sounds I had a baby one in my tank for a while, it came on some of the liverock i got with the tank deal. It lived for a while but i didnt notice it until the rock had been out of water for some time and it had died, but i still thought it was interesting. It was really really small though, about the size of a nickle but a little longer, if that makes any sense
