Pet stores in more than 30 states across the country, including Indiana, have been selling something they shouldn t: invasive zebra mussels.
These fingernail-sized mussels are regarded as one of the most destructive invasive species in North America, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Originating from Eurasia, they have wreaked havoc on the Great Lakes in the last two decades by messing with the aquatic food chain and clogging pipes.
And in just the last week, they have been found in aquarium moss balls that are sold in stores across the country.
More specifically, the aquatic pest has been detected in Marimo Moss Balls at Petco and PetSmart stores, although specific locations have not been identified. When Eric Fischer first received reports of this problem last week, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources official immediately went out to check a local store.
