Leeches

Are leeches bad news in a small wildlife pond? All I seem to have are
water beetles and lots of leeches.

Thanks,

Most healthy ponds have them....almost all are non blood suckers, and live in
the plants. the fish love to eat them. Jerri

I would agree. Leeches look bad and I always go `UH...................` but
they are proberly ok. If you had blood sucking one`s and alot of them then
it could be a problem to the fish.

I think if they were the blood suckers, he would have seen them or sores on the
fish Jerri
