Habitat Requirements
20+ gallon tank with a secure lid (they are escape artists). Soft sand substrate - sharp gravel can injure their proboscis. Warm water 76-84 F maintained with an aquarium heater. Hard, mineral-rich water - add crushed coral to the filter or use a Wonder Shell.
Diet
Natural scavengers that eat sinking algae wafers, shrimp pellets, and blanched vegetables (zucchini, spinach, cucumber). They rarely eat live plants, preferring decaying matter.

Care questions
- What water conditions do rabbit snails need?
- Warm, hard, alkaline water suits them — they come from Sulawesi lake systems. Stable parameters matter more than exact numbers, and they need dissolved calcium to maintain a healthy shell.
- Will rabbit snails overrun my tank?
- No. Unlike most aquarium snails they reproduce very slowly, typically producing a single offspring at a time. They are one of the few snails you can keep without population control.
- Are rabbit snails safe with live plants?
- Yes. They graze algae, biofilm and decaying plant matter rather than healthy foliage, which makes them a good fit for a planted tank.
- What water parameters do rabbit snails need?
- Hard, alkaline water — pH around 7.5 to 8.5 with a good mineral content — at 76 to 84F. Soft or acidic water erodes the shell, and that damage does not reverse. Sulawesi species are less tolerant of poor conditions than most aquarium snails.
- How fast do rabbit snails breed?
- Very slowly. Tylomelania give birth to a single large juvenile at a time, at intervals of weeks. They will not overrun a tank the way a bladder or ramshorn snail does — that low reproductive rate is part of why they hold their value.
- Will rabbit snails eat my plants?
- Mostly no. They graze biofilm, algae and detritus, though a hungry snail may sample soft or dying leaves. Keep them fed and planted tanks are generally safe. Setting up for snails is covered here.
