snail genocide

Me and the (probably) other two lemmings who have ponds:

Not that I kill them on purpose. But once the little pond snails make it in and multiply like crazy, there are a ton of them in any locations where the fish don’t have access to hoover them up. Just about any of my maintenance tasks will crush some of them plus a bunch of random larvae.

I guess that’s an inevitable downside to having a hobby where I care for a flourishing little ecosystem.
