I am in the middle of a philosophical cross roads here. In my pond I have some YP SMB a few trout that found their way in. At least one Walleye that found its way in ( from fry in stocking ) and some log perch from the seasonal creek. I have fatheads and crawfish I have added. I have bullfrogs and leopard frogs that have made their way in. Some snails also found their way in.

Where the question comes in, I was wondering what would either freshwater clams or muscles bring to the mix and bio diversity of the pond. Would they be a good addition or would they muck things up more? Any thoughts from the bivalve experts out there?
