Are snails a good idea in a garden pond? Do they play a large part in
controlling algae? I'm thinking of the small wild type of snail frequently
found in Australian ponds and streams. Do they cause any problems in a pond
with breeding fish such as Blue-eyes?
I've had them before in an aquarium where they bred excessively and were
difficult to eradicate.
Thanks to everyone for their replies to my previous queries, this list is
certainly a wealth of knowledge.

Cheers, Darrell
