The snails will lay little jelly eggs under leaves of pond plants. So just keep a look out for them.
Thnx I imagined that if I fed the fish they wouldn't eat anything else that came in Haven't really decided what we are gong to do with the ponds yet. They were set up originally as water features, hence the lighting and fountains, but we might revise things. Thnx again for all the advice.
