Snails & Mystery Insects in New Garden Pond: Good Signs

New garden pond, koi, tadpoles. Snails appeared — on plants? Small long bugs, 6 legs, in bottom muck. Asks: mosquitoes? Harmful?

Snails = Plant Hitchhikers

Eggs on plants. Beneficial — clean algae, detritus.

Bugs = Water Beetles

  • Likely predaceous diving beetles or larvae.
  • Harmless to fish, eat mosquito larvae.
  • Sign of healthy ecosystem.

Expect Frogs

Frogs will find your pond. Enjoy the biodiversity!
