Depends on the snail and I'm not very good at telling which kind are which.

Oh How neat, BV! I wish had some pretty damsel flies in the house

I had taken some duckweed in to store in an aquarium, and my wife swore she
was seeing something ind swimming in the tank. I argued that she was crazy.
Until I saw the nymphs, and then the flies.

It was very cool.

Snails go crazy in my pond every year, but the fish keep them in check.

Thanks.

I think they're Stagnant Pond Snails, but they're still rather small.
They're a bronze colour and come to the surface to breathe. I may get some
Clown Loaches to clean them up, before I stock the tank. Although I read
they're susceptible to disease.


I had flies in the GF tank last winter too. Didn't see any Damsels or Nymphs
though.

I had a gold ball sized Snail in my tank last year. My loach took 'em out in
just a few days.

A Gold, ball-sized, Snail? Real gold? Even a small ball would set you up
in pond plants for years :-)

Oops. I meant Golf-ball of course. I guess that's what I get for not running
a psell check before hitting send.
