I use trap door snails to keep my pond clean. They thrive on algae and
don't touch my plants and dead plant material. My fish love the nice
clean water they leave.
Can those be purchased at pet stores?
We saw snails in a mountain stream on a hike today, and I was quite temped
to put a bunch in a water bottle, bring them back, and add them to our
pond...
