Overview
What to know before you buy.
A Sulawesi snail with a rabbit-like face and a long spired shell. Slow-breeding, livebearing and harmless to plants; wants warm, hard, alkaline water.
Care guide
Keeping Yellow Rabbit Snail healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
A minimum 60L aquarium suits Yellow Rabbit Snail. Add it only to a fully cycled, mature tank: invertebrates tolerate ammonia and nitrite far worse than fish. Keep a lid on: many snails climb out.
Water parameters
Keep pH 7.2–8.5 and 24–30°C. Never use copper: most fish medications and some plant fertilisers contain it and it kills invertebrates. Drip-acclimate over at least an hour. Enough calcium and hardness keeps shells from pitting.
Feeding
Omnivore — biofilm, blanched vegetables, sinking foods. Remove uneaten food within a few hours so it doesn't foul the water.
Behaviour
Slow, peaceful grazer. Most activity happens at night and around feeding.
Tankmates
Many fish eat snails (loaches and puffers in particular). Keep it with small, peaceful fish, or on its own.
Breeding
Whether Yellow Rabbit Snail breeds at home depends on the species' larval stage; many need brackish or marine conditions to raise young.
