SNAILS WANTED
"jammer" wrote in message
... I am in zone 7 (Fort Worth) and I had some little black snails that didn't make it through the winter. Does anyone have some they could send me that wont eat plants but will eat algae? I could pay postage. Jammer, are you referring to the Japanese Trapdoor Snails? I believe those are the most beneficial snails in a pond. I might have some that survived "winter" (not much of one down here in San Antonio). If that's what you're looking for, I'll check my ponds to see if I have any to spare. Here's one website (not mine) with a description: http://www.pondscaper.com/critterssnail.html I have a ton of common Ramshorn snails. I haven't noticed they damage the plants but I only have hardy water lilies, some kind of common rush, hornwort & anacharis, so I can't guarantee they wouldn't harm other types of plants. And they are prolific. You probably don't want those, but if you do, I could send dozens, which will probably be hundreds by the time they reach you. Gail San Antonio TX |

Gail San Antonio TX Well, someone spoke to me about trap door snails. My pond is a 70 gallon baby and i am unsure if ping pong ball sized snails would wipe out all the plants or just the excess algae. OR, if this would be too small for them. I had some little black snails and that's about all i know. |

Yes, i know. I had a snail problem in an aquarium once. I made the
mistake of flushing them.. By morning i had a toilet bowl full of snails. haha I had many and they kept the pond clean, but there isnt one of them left. I guess something eats them around here.

Some are "good" and some are "bad". The ones here are tiny teardrop shaped black snails.
I was wondering if those are the good kind. Perhaps someone in the group will advise us both.
