Re: Pond Snails



Don't be surprised if you have a lot more than 10 by the end of summer. 'Course, with their dark bodies and brownish shells they will be tough to find in your pond. They are worth the effort since they're fun to watch cruising the glass in your aquariums come wintertime. Good luck with them,

Bill
