Watch yer Lacey Act tho....

Be sure you know what the law is on collecting time, and I'm not sure what
the rules are if someone sends them to you. Pretty much every state
requires a permit, even for possession. Which stinks, cause I walk down the
Maumee River and see 5,000,000 Wabash Pigtoes and White Heelsplitters and I
haven't taken the steps so I can put them in my tank, which would be a very
desireable addition.

Straight from the OhioDNR.com website for example: "CLAMS, MUSSELS, OR
MUSSEL SHELLS may not be taken, possessed, or collected for any pupose."

Okay... I'll quit playing Dad now. I hope it works out for you Sajjad. It
would definately look sweet :)
