Heads up pet keepers: zebra mussels have been spotted in Petco Betta Buddy brand moss balls.

If you don't know what zebra mussels are, they're an invasive aquatic species that reproduces incredibly quickly, to the point where it can damage power plant equipment and pipes, and also is a major threat to native mussels as it rapidly outcompetes them. They are a scourge on lakes across the midwest and spread easily on boats or other watercraft thats been exposed to them.

Finding one in a chain pet store item is BAD NEWS. These items are sold across the entire country and this has the potential to be a major spreader event. If you spot a zebra mussel on marimo or on any other aquarium plant please make a report to the relevant wildlife officials so they can be controlled. Do not dispose of any aquarium animal or plant in a waterway.

If we are vigilant, we can help keep our native mussels safe.

During the dry season, some Bettas can get stuck in puddles – but they avoid this and will jump to greater levels of water when possible. This survival fact about Bettas is embraced and amplified by the pet industry because it creates huge opportunities for profit – the sale of more Bettas and tiny “tanks” that falsely suggest they mimic a Betta’s habitat. Aquariums are artificial environments, not natural ecosystems. A Betta will not be happy in such cramped conditions (e.g. tanks under 1 gal), just as it would not enjoy getting trapped in a puddle! In the comfort of our homes, Bettas shouldn’t just be surviving!
