I'm taking down a 3500+ gallon pond in my back yard so the kids will have a
place to play. Most of the old pond will be reconstructed at my parents
home, but on a smaller scale. I've got about 40 TRAP DOOR SNAILS (also
called MOSS BACK SNAILS in these parts) that I don't need. These things give
live birth (meaning they don't lay eggs), so they won't over-run your pond.
They are great at eating the algae and gunk off the sides and bottom of the
pond and grow to about the size of a golf ball.

** I haven't found a pet store that wants them so I'm writing to see if any
fellow ponders in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area are interested and/or in need of
some snails. **

I'd be happy to give these guys away free to good homes, but you'd have to
come get them (I live in Frisco - north of Plano @ 121 and the Tollway).
They're all going in the temporary kiddy pool holding tank today.

I'll also have about 10 gold fish, 6-10 inches long, some 6 years old and
all in good health, that will need new homes. These were all feeder goldfish
that survived the "is the water safe for fish test" in 2 ponds and have
grown to be good sized. (I'm keeping the shibunkins and the fan tails for
the new pond, so don't even ask. ;-)

I could dig a snail the size of a golfball!

Maybe someone here can tell me if i should get one or if i could get
two for a 70 ? gallon pondlet with no filtration, etc and 2 goldfish.

But Frisco, man....I live in Watauga and don't know if i could get
there!

Get a dozen, they are cool snails and really clean the glass on an aquarium
too. My koi eat them, else I'd probably have a pondful myself. ~ jan
