I purchased an Apple Snail ($4.99). Put him or her in my 3' deep pond.
Within 20 minutes he was at the top munching on these floating lettuce
like plants I have. I knocked him down twice. Happily I found him on the
bottom this morning munching on the bottom gunk.

Are these guys a danger for plants?

Yeah, there were some at the local pond store. I asked "Dont those
things eat the plants?" and the lady replied, "If they did, we
wouldn't sell them" I didn't believe her.
