Invasive zebra mussels found in aquarium products, Indiana DNR says

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.

Are they black with white stripes or white with black stripes? Regardless of how you describe them, zebra mussels, an invasive aquatic species commonly spotted on boats, decks and pipes, have made their way into local and national aquarium tanks. Moss balls, an aquarium plant sold at department stores in Vermont and across the country, may contain zebra mussels, according to the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources on Thursday. The agency was alerted the week prior that plants sold under the name Beta Buddy Marimo Balls, Mini Marimo Moss Balls, and Marimo Moss Ball Plant may contain the invasive mollusk species within the plant or its packaging.
