Snail Question
We have just completed our first pond. Its is about 5200 gallons and
we are in illinois. No fish (koi) or plants have been added since we just completed it and the temps are chilly here now. I have decided to let it freeze over for this season since its so late in the year. The external pump and skimmer will be started and seeded in the spring. At this point I have not added any chemicals. My question is should I add snails to my pond? Over the years of having indoor fish tanks I am familiar with how much disaster snails can do and how fast they procreate. But Im wondering if they would be the best type of critter for biological breakdown of dead leaves and such during this time. Any help with wether or not snails are good or bad and a recommended type would be very benificial group. thx Rick |
