I have a new copper band butterfly in a isolation tank. I bought him some live muscles.
The question is I have a bag full. Do I put the rest in the refugem?

I freeze them, I would not want them to potentially die in your fuge.

I have kept clams (like little neck) alive in the fridge by putting them in a strainer over a pan then covering them with ice, add new ice as it melts. The strainer is to keep them from drowning but I assume that is because no flow or because people might use freshwater? hm. I only did it for a few days then froze them.

Looks like @Paul B has done it but says they will starve quickly
