I don't know a whole lot about apple snails, so I'll skip that part. I'll
just ask, what makes you think the small snails are apple snails? Most ponds
have small aquatic snails, they usually hitch hike on aquatic plants.

If I remember right from discussions long ago. :'-( Apple snails were
tropical and die if the temps get too low. OP might want to do some
research (googling) on them. ~ jan
