Default What is the best type of pond snail?

your pond is not natural. snails are intermediate host for diseases of fish. if you
arent going to have goldfish or koi, then there isnt a problem.
large snails, when they die and rot, are gaggingly putrid stinky.

there is no such thing as a good snail snip


can you quantify that statement please? I was of the belief snails were
beneficial to a pond, and are definitely part of a natural ponds ecosystem.
