I live in New York and was wondering if there are any snail species sold in pet stores that will survive all year in an outdoor pond with lots of plants,mud, and decaying oak leaves without me having to do anything other than make sure the water doesn't freeze? A friend of mine has a pond like this with some goldfish and wants to add some snail species and being I go to the pet store all the time I am going to look for him, but I honestly have no idea about aquatic snails so I would need a common name of them sold, and what colors they come in to help me distinguish different species. I only know of one snail species sold off the top of my head and that is the ramshorn snail they come in dk brown and red coloring but when I googled about them im reading there are various species of ramshorn, found in warm or cold climates.
I know snails frequently are found on aquatic plants sold (dont know plant names either), but most of those are for tropical water or so I had thought, not for cold water like here.
