Most all snails grow relatively fast if they have sufficient food and
conditions are good. I would make sure my water is 60 or above, and
Apple or ramshorn are both good. HOwever don;t depend on a snail to
keep things clean, as its mainly a myth.,........shops tell you they
eat the trash, and decayed matter etc etc, so you think right off its
a good scavenger, which it is, but it also gives off waste products
which sometimes can actually be more than what the waste products in
the pond would be without a snail adding to it.

Just the same I like snails, have a few ramshorn, and apples, and a
heap of small snails typically found in natural ponds which get about
as large as a marble
