The woes of someone who understands how mussels work:
Why? Bristol Zoo had Zebra Mussel on-exhibit when I visited in 2016.

How were they exhibited? They just THAT invasive. They'll multiply and cover the glass, clog the filtration system, and are just impossible to get rid of. They'll slowly fill up the tank until there's no room for anything else in the tank. Are you sure they weren't extremely convincing models, like what Shedd has?
A few photos of the exhibit/s - I seem to recall there was initially a single tank on each side of the room (fish vs invertebrates) but later this was replaced by a tank for frogs and one for mussels. On my last couple of visits before closure I think only the fish one opposite was still there and this side was just the wall.

Just one mussel then? That makes sense.
I only have one in my photos - I can't honestly say if there were more or not but it would indeed make a certain amount of sense to prevent any breeding (I'm not sure how easily they can be sexed while alive?).
If you had 2 mussels, would they be biceps?
How about the african spurred tortoises and chinese water dragon?
I think you're overestimating the small zoo starter pack
Sulcatas are obviously kept outside and not in the reptile house. I've only seen Chinese Water Dragon in a zoo once, so that one didn't occur to me.
