The Rabbit Snail (genus Tylomelania) is a large, peaceful freshwater aquarium snail native to Sulawesi, Indonesia. Known for their cone-shaped shells, long "rabbit-ear" tentacles, and elephant-like snouts, they make popular, low-maintenance pets for planted tanks.
Key Characteristics
- Appearance: Long, pointy, ribbed shells ranging from 2 to 4 inches in length, with soft bodies in vibrant colors like orange, yellow, or chocolate.
- Behavior: They are slow-moving scavengers that love to burrow in fine sand and graze on biofilm and detritus.
- Reproduction: Unlike most snails, they are not hermaphrodites. Females give birth to live, fully formed young (usually one at a time), preventing overpopulation
