I have a pond with rice fish and I am experimenting what plants could do good outside. I want to know if any of you guys have tried to put some aquatic plants in your ponds. Could I try some plants other than anacharis or hornwort?

I have a 30 gallon pond that has about 2 dozen gold ricefish. The fish are doing great but they seem very skittish in deeper water. I don't have any in a shallow tank so I don't know how they would act in that kind of environment. I put some L. Sessiliflora, hygrophila corymbosa, hygrophila angustifolia, and alternanthera reinikki mini. There is also some water lettuce. I think that there is a lot of cover but the rice fish seem to be very shy when I come to feed. Also, I haven't seen many fry. I have a bunch of snails and I think that might be a reason for there being no fry. Could anyone tell me if snails eat eggs? And if they do, should I leave them in the tub or take them out?
