Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Snails crap!

Beautiful sunfish, I have no experience with them. If they don't get large enough for angling interest or table fare, then think long and hard about stocking them. Before doing so be sure you determine their fecundity - if they are multiple spawners you could have an overpopulation of dink BG and dink LES.

I think you have far more important issues to resolve than snail management - namely, how are you planning on managing your BG population? What species are going to make up your fishery? What's in the pond currently? Snails are ubiquitous - you won't necessarily have grub or swimmers itch issues - I don't think snails are your primary concern now. Figuring out how to establish your fishery and stocking plans seem more important.
