Hi All, does adding mussels into a tank increase the nitrate? I like to add them for my puffer but worry that it can increase the nitrate levels.
 
I add one every so often, but mine are alive. Ones I either pick up at the beach or while snorkeling in the Florida Keys. But I do it because they are filter feeders and I like to see how long I can keep them alive.

I do a giant cockle (juvenile) when I find a live one along the beaches here. And some basic small clams I collect in the Keys. The cockles seem to survive 3 to 6 months and I'd like to get them to make it longer. The clams I've been able to keep for several years now.
