If you are looking for a great cleanup crew, consider adding some Rabbit Snails to your community aquarium. Not only will these snails help keep your tank sparkling clean, but they also have great personalities and a peaceful disposition, making them great tank mates (for other peaceful fish, of course.)
You do not want to add Rabbit Snails to a tank with aggressive fish who will mistake them for a midnight snack.
In addition to the benefits they bring to the home aquarium, Rabbit Snails have an unusual and appealing appearance that will add an exotic flair to your aquarium. They are fairly easy to care for, as long as you can control ammonia and nitrate levels in the tank.
In this article, I’ll cover everything you need to know to successfully add some Rabbit Snails to your community tank, including behavior, appearance, tank requirements, and nutritional needs. You won’t grow tired of watching them explore the tank, dragging along their unicorn-horn shells.
