Pond snails - Viviparidae (river snails)

Pond Snails – River Snails (Viviparidae)

Our river snails are diligent, robust helpers for your garden pond or water garden. They belong to the family of Viviparidae (live-bearing snails) and are not only useful but also a natural visual highlight.

🐌 Natural Algae & Waste Recyclers

River snails feed on algae growth, dead plant parts, and organic residues. They actively contribute to the biological balance in the pond and support water quality – completely without chemicals.

🌿 Ideal for the Garden Pond

• Suitable for ponds from approx. 10–15 cm water depth
• Very winter hardy (overwinter in the mud at the bottom of the pond)
• Peaceful towards fish and other pond inhabitants
• Do not climb out of the pond

💧 Easy to Care for & Long-lasting

River snails are extremely adaptable and cope well with different water parameters. However, they prefer calcareous water for stable shell growth.

Since they are live-bearing, they reproduce moderately and controllably – no mass reproduction like some other snail species.
