Dobu mussels are found in East Asia, in Japan, China, the Korean Peninsula, and Taiwan. They have thin green to black shells that often crack spontaneously as they dry out. Many people keep the Dobugai as a spawning ground for bitterlings. In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics and how to keep them.

How to keep a dovegai
Dove mussels can be an easy species to keep if you know how to keep them. The lifespan of the dung beetle is approximately 10 to 15 years. Their body size is about 10-15 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly alkaline to neutral water quality, with a pH of 7.0 to 8.0. They can live in water temperatures between 10-25℃.

Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
Regarding mixed swimming, first of all, it is important to keep in mind that the mussels are bivalve mollusks. While alive, bivalves help stabilize the water quality, but once they die, the water quality will rapidly deteriorate. Therefore, when keeping a large number of bivalves, it is recommended to have a tank dedicated to bivalves. This is both a countermeasure in case they die and to create the optimal environment for each species, as the optimal environment for shellfish and the optimal environment for fish may differ.

Points about spawning
Many people who keep dung beetles want to breed them. However, there are very few examples of breeding in general breeding environments, and the level of difficulty is high.The small mussels that develop and hatch in the gills of a fertilized female individual are released into the water. The newly hatched shellfish are parasitic on the fish and grow in a safe place.
What to keep in mind when keeping a dovegai
The dove mussel becomes a bivalve that is found in areas with slow currents, such as the lower reaches of rivers and irrigation canals on the plains. Some people keep them because they are used by bitterlings to spawn. Dove mussels are sensitive to water quality, so care may be required when keeping them.Some people are confused about whether or not to add bottom sand and bottom stone when keeping dove mussels. It is better to have bottom sand and bottom stone, but they are not necessary. If you do, make sure that the mussel is half buried in the sand. If you are not sure whether or not to add bottom sand or bottom stone, do so if you want to prolong the life of the mussel. This is because in nature, they live mostly on muddy bottoms. From the perspective of water changes and care, adding bottom sand and stones will take more time and effort. As for where to keep them, it is recommended to keep them outdoors rather than indoors. This is because they need sunlight to produce phytoplankton, which is their food source. Many mussels die of starvation due to low or no food, so be careful to create an environment where food is always available. It is also important to keep plants such as water plants and algae in the environment. If you are interested in dung beetles, we recommend that you visit a specialty store to take a look at them.
