You may be right, the thought of snails not eating plants never
occurred to me, but I can't believe they add anything to the pond
except a snack for koi and the occasional parasite. I think I would
like to remove them completely, and I don't think fish will be able to
do that. I realize they may be transported in again, but I'd like to
start over.
====================
If still in doubt you can call your local Dept. of Agriculture and see what
they recommend. They would also know what parasites, if any, the snails in
your area may carry. They would be most familiar with the conditions where
you live.
