Um, from what I gather, I think you meant: What does a pond snail eats?

I'd think it'd be algaes and bacterias... more specifically green / brown algaes, and some leafy plants.

Find what you're looking for here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snail

EDIT: Oh, ok, I just saw your edit... so it's "what animals eats pond snails?" well, the "regular" predators would be arachnids (spiders) and / or scorpions, lobsters (if they are nearby i.e. sea / ocean), pelicans, toucans, and other big beaked birds, etc....

I hope I've helped you thoroughly, check the link I've provided, it has tons of useful info... good luck! =)

Your question is not really phrased correctly. I am assuming you are asking what eats pond snails. If that is your question, almost anything. Animals that normally don't eat snails, will do so if nothing else is around for them to eat. Sometimes other snails will eat the eggs of snails. Hope this helps.

I think you are asking a question for a food chain rather than asking if peope eat the snails.

Here's some information from the site listed below:
"Using a long, rough tongue, the aquatic snail scrapes organic material, like algae and detritus, into its mouth. The snails serve as food for many different animals. Common predators include ducks, shore birds, amphibians, and aquatic insect larvae. In lakes and streams, fish often eat them."

They maximum possibly got here from the pants on the keep. a similar element got here about to me with my first 50 gallon tank. yet they did not overpopulate it, on condition that I bough a Pleco which possibly ate them. yet because you've a smaller tank, and also you're growing a fish that would not devour pond snails you've 2 recommendations. you truly do not favor a lot of those snails, even with the actuality that they clean algae, they overpopulate instantly, once you've a challenge with algae you are able to purchase Golden Apple snails at maximum any puppy keep. so that you'll both take each thing out of the tank, wash each and each of the flora, replace the substrate, and wash the tank with a mixture of bleach. or you are able to in basic terms purchase a product that kills snails, both a fairly made one. or some Tank friends suitable PH, and Algae away say to in straightforward words use without snails. So in case you make the most of a pellet of that, it might do the trick. do in basic terms it formerly you get the Betta fish, because once you get it, then you definitely could keep it in a tank even as you clean yours. in the adventure that they seem back even as you've the Betta, then you definitely can get a small snail eating pleco such as a Bristle nostril Pleco, which remains small and could devour the snails. yet i ought to point no longer, as they're frequently aggressive, and nip on the Betta's flowing fins, and it ought to starve to lack of life or attempt to devour the Betta or that's food if no longer adequate algae and waste is created from one small Betta Fish.
