Yellow Rabbit Snail

Yellow Rabbit Snail is a fascinating freshwater snail known for its bright yellow, almost golden body and long, distinctive rabbit-like feelers. A colourful type of rabbit snail (Tylomelania), it is perfect for aquarists looking to add a unique touch to their tank while helping to maintain a clean environment.

Location

Native to the lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia, the Yellow Rabbit Snail lives in warm, clear water that is rich in minerals. In the aquarium, they thrive in environments that replicate their natural habitat, with clean water and plenty of surfaces for grazing.

Diet

Yellow Rabbit Snails graze on algae, biofilm, and decaying plant matter. They help keep algae under control in the aquarium, making them a valuable addition to any tank. Supplement their diet with algae wafers, blanched vegetables like spinach, and foods rich in calcium for healthy shells.

Care

Yellow Rabbit Snails prefer water temperatures between 24 and 28°C and a pH of 7.5 to 8.3. They require stable water conditions and should be kept away from medications containing copper, as these can be harmful to snails. Regular water changes and clean tank conditions are essential for their wellbeing.

Habitat

To create an ideal habitat for Yellow Rabbit Snails, use a fine substrate such as sand or smooth gravel. Including plants, rocks, and decorations will provide grazing surfaces. These snails also enjoy exploring vertical surfaces, so providing opportunities for climbing is beneficial. Make sure the aquarium has a secure lid to prevent escapes.

Breeding

Rabbit snails breed slowly, producing a single baby at a time, so they won’t overrun your tank.
