Black Japanese Snails are the best scavengers for your water garden because they "scavenge" the bottom for decomposing organic debris. The recommended stocking rate of this essential component for your pond is one snail per every 1-2 square feet of pond surface, or 10-20 gallons. This still allows room for growth and reproduction. We suggest that you stock your pond with snails at the same time you install the plants. This allows the pond to begin establishing its own natural bacteria. Once organic debris begins to be formed, the snails can start to feed on it.
