Hi pond forum. So everything is going find fishes are happy and plants are growing. But today I found a dead snail in my pond. It was floating on the surface without it's shell. Please do note I do not have a skimmer. Will this dead snail cause any harm to my koi and live plants? Thank you.

Sorry for your snail, if concerned why not just net it out of the pond. Snails can smell pretty bad when dead also. It is so small it will not harm anything, I just do not like dead things in my pond if I can help it.

Thank you RobAmy so glad to know it's not anything serious. Well sissy I am not sure if it is a common garden snail but I certainly did not buy it. Surprising to hear that koi eat frogs. Thank you to all for your input.
