Most types of snails are not recommended because they propagate at a fast rate, thus leaving you with a snail infestation. A good type of snail to put in a pond is a Japanese trap door snail, they grow quite large (which means they eat more that the common snail). Also they tend to leave most of your aquatic plants alone. Ponds do not require you to use snails, but if you would like to lessen your surface algae it wouldn’t hurt to buy some.

Note: snails do not help with string algae or green pea soup algae.
