Be careful what you wish for G. Most folks try to get *rid* of snails!

I am in zone 7 (Fort Worth) and I had some little black snails that
didn't make it through the winter. Does anyone have some they could
send me that wont eat plants but will eat algae? I could pay postage.

Yes, i know. I had a snail problem in an aquarium once. I made the
mistake of flushing them.. By morning i had a toilet bowl full of
snails. haha

I had many and they kept the pond clean, but there isnt one of them
left. I guess something eats them around here.

Clown Loaches will devour snails. I had a snail about the size of a golf
ball, and this little Loach, just 3-4 inches long, devoured him in days.
