Snails Again One Last Time - 06/16/10 12:06 PM
The pond is drained and the number of snails in the muck and little springs and feeder creek beds is amazing. I feel it will be impossible to totally eradicate them all. According to everyone that answered my previous question all the replies regarding snails were negative.
Do snails have any positive benefits? Should I quit worrying about them and how prolific they are? i guess I will stock some RES when the pond fills and I restock it.
The snails are large-i think Ramshorn. Can RES eat the full size snails or will they just be eating the little ones.
I want large BG and from what I have read RES will be smaller than the BG. Will the RES compete with BG and hinder growth rates of the BG?
Don't be afraid to tell me I'm worrying too much about nothing.
