i doubt u are breeding them, they require a fish host and the species for this is quite specific. On the fish they become encysted and live as a parasite for a period of time until they have transformed into juvenile mussels, they release themselves from their host fish and begin life in the sediments.

im not too sure how many truths are in this statement... there is an old dam in a national park not far from me... and the only fish that inhabits this water is the gambeze... gambusia... or just the plain mosquito fish....
i somehow doubt this is the host fish..... the mussells are now in big numbers... compared to when i was a kid....
but i do know bitterlings require mussels as a host to raise their fry... and thats a fact... even mr google will help you out on this one.....
