Well after working 12 hours in 120 degree heat yesterday. Not exaggerating. I came home to relax beside pond and feed fish. I went to wash the fish food powder from hands and that's when I saw them. I now have thousands of snails. They appear to be the local variety in the creeks and rivers in area. I'm trying to figure out how they might of got in pond and multiplied so fast. All of them I noticed are in the juvenile stage. How long ago would the pond have to of been contaminated to get to this point? Do GBH carry snails on feet? i stocked CC and HBG in october last year after first fill. Another stocking in spring of YP and HSB in spring. Then some SMB from creek mid july. In some places it's black spots as deep as you can see. I'll try to make video later. What are the pros if any to having snails. I'm pretty sure their are a bunch of cons. One more note. The pond hasn't even had water in for a year yet. Thanks guys.
