Default Thousands of Snails

I know what you mean... I have thousands too. Mine don't seem to be
causing any trouble. They seem to be leaving all the plants alone.
Here is a picture of what my snails were like a couple of weeks ago...
they may move slow but the reproduce fast

Thanks Chad,
That's exactly what they look like. Glad to know I don't need to
worry about them. Glad you could photograph them since I have no
place to put photo's on the net. I'm glad I don't need to "Mess with
the pond", since it looks so good, finally. Thanks again, Sue W

Default Thousands of Snails

I have never had a snail survive in the pond. They all get eaten!
I have them in the filter and in the frog bog, the six pondlets and even in the
house habitats.
The other day one of the tadpoles had a hold of a snail and was shaking the
poor thing out of its shell!

They ought to keep your stream nice and clean.
