CJB, I did notice in the pond they are growing in they only attached to the pylons and not along the shoreline or sandy bottom. Are you familiar with them in that regard? It seems the zebra mussels will form beds on sand or any place. That's what I didnt want to happen was the shallow sand beds being totally covered. The hard verticle stuctures would be ideal I think...
I guess I could always stock a bunch of sheepshead to control them if they they start getting to abundant.
I did more reseaerch and read they attach to hard surfaces, and they could reproduce in nearly fresh water but brackish is ideal. So I am not sure if they will reproduce if they do probably not in great numbers...
I think I'll put a few clumps in and see what happens...
The one sheepshead in the pond might just make a snack out of them any way.
