Harvey :

That info was not from me . It is, as stated from the West Vir. DNR. I have not seen mussels in my ponds but have seen them in creeks and rivers. I have found a number of reports that say RE eat small mussels and snails. The question in my mind is can the mussels live in an impoundment. The source I referenced says not very well. Unlike snails they need moving water.

Does your pond have a creek flowing into it or does it have springs or other flowthrough? If so that may be the answer.

I would like to know the answer to Greg's question as I would like to find a supp. RE feeding method . I have been told that RE do not eat feed from feeders well . I don't know if that is true or not. In case it is I am looking for alternatives. Thanks ewest
