Rabbit Snail

Rabbit Snails (Tylomelania spp.) are unique and fascinating freshwater snails known for their elongated, spiral shells and their head, which somewhat resembles a rabbit’s face, giving them their name. Native to the warm, slow-moving waters of Indonesia, particularly Sulawesi, these snails are a popular addition to aquariums for their intriguing appearance and gentle nature.
 
Rabbit Snails prefer aquariums with stable water conditions, soft substrates, and temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C). They are peaceful, making them ideal for community tanks, and are also great at scavenging, feeding on algae, leftover food, and plant matter.
 
Unlike some other snail species, Rabbit Snails reproduce slowly, so they don’t typically overpopulate a tank. With proper care, they can live up to 3 years, contributing both beauty and functionality to freshwater aquariums.
