Scavengers : Tadpoles, Snails, Clams
 |
|
|
We cannot say enough in favor of scavengers for your water lily pool or an aquarium! Scavengers are the housekeepers of the water garden or aquarium. Your fish feed upon insects, snails devour algae and green scum, tadpoles eat decayed matter, and clams or mussels continuously filter the water to keep it clear. Since each snail has a different appetite and function, a VARIETY of snails should be selected.

Do not forget to add CLAMS, they are excellent for any water garden pool or aquarium. They are natures living filters and can easily keep a pond or aquarium healthy and clean! All water gardens or aquariums should have clams!
