hello, Mr Stagbeetle was taking the flower pot from the pot and found these in it, what are they? We have put the pot in the pond again just in case.

    fab, can't belive they look like that, should I leave them there? They help clean the pond, don't they?

    Yep, they keep the water pure by eating any dead vegetation, always been welcome to live in my pond. image

    I've just taken delivery of 20 pond snails and after acclimatising them to the temperature of the pond water, they are now (slowly) exploring their new home - in exchange for which they have promised to eat up decaying vegetable matter, algae, blanket weed etc image
