Molluscs
Snails and mussels add another dimension to the pond and create interest. We supply ramshorn snails which are benign, don't eat plants, just graze on algae. If required we do have great pond snails which tend to chew on plants.
Mussels are useful as a natural filter for a pond as they will clear green water. They siphon 10 gallons of water per day which passes through their body straining out the algae which they use as food. But unfortunately they will not clear blanket weed!
