Ok, so what about these golf ball sized ones? I dont even have a pump
or filter anyway and thought they may be beneficial. Not if they ate a
single water lillie pad or too much of one plant...the pond is small,
should i get any or not?



-- I have the Japanese trap door snails they get to be about an inch in
size and they dont eat the plants---- in fact if I didnt drain the pond
I wouldnt even know they were in there,
the apple snails do eat anything that they come accross.
