The Thai Freshwater Mussel is a filter-feeding bivalve that buries itself in substrate while filtering microscopic particles from the water column. It is completely passive and does not interact with tankmates, making it a unique addition to planted aquariums. It requires stable, well-oxygenated water and can grow to about 2–3 inches (5–7.5 cm).
