I love rabbit snails, I caught a flash sale deal where the store was selling Baby rabbit snails for very cheap and I got a bunch of them, "my question is how likely they are to be outcompeted by shrimp and other pest snails" (I have bladder snails that do a very good job with green and brown algae)
i added water to the tank to fill it as filter was making noise and i think the temperature drop caused them to die. Then the shrimps started eating their bodies and I only have the shells left.
Can a aquatararium with a juvenile Map turtle be too over-stimulating for a large rabbit snail? I just began the hobby (first water test this weekend), and all my nerite's and Mystery's are doing absolutely excellent, but my Rabbit! I'm growing concerned. Been almost a week. My rabbit has been very inactive, but for maybe one night (I think he moved). My tank has a heater that allows for a consistent 75 degs F, and of course, err, a juvenile Map Turtle. Water is packaged spring water. Visual description: partially opened shell with only a little foot exposed. I have yet to have him completely appear.
i have Hercules rabbit snails or giant Sulawesi rabbit snails and there shells are white however they grow in brown, the guy at the aquarium says that where they come from they sand their shells? Is this true? And if so how?
@Aquqrium Genius ik heb nog een vraag, ik vind Rabbit snails echt mooi, maar heb ook 1 hele mooie java varen op een steen staan. Deze mag zeker niet doodgaan of achteruit gaan. Zou ik toch een tweetal rabbit snails durven toevoegen? Of gaat dit een effect hebben op mijn java varens? Alvast bedankt!
Hello! I recently got a rabbit snail without doing my research (rookie mistake) and put them in a planted 3 gallon with a sponge filter. Do they need a bigger tank? I have a 10 gallon, but it has a betta that is known to pick on some of his tank mates. What's the best option?
Hey there Samantha! My girlfriend also has a betta together with malaysian trumpet snails they do well together. How large is the rabbit snail? If it's just a baby the 3 gallon is fine and the chance that the betta kills it is higher. If it's an older rabbit snail that's already a bit bigger, I think it's best to move it to the 10 gallon tank. Rabbit snails are pretty strong snails so I think they will be fine.
@Aquarium Genius, since 2 weeks I have 3 rabbit snails in a tank with 2 panda cory, shrimp and endler guppy. In the beginning they moved around a lot. But now they are almost every time hiding in their shell. What is the reason for this? Are they sick?
@@AquariumGenius , ik ben ook Nederlandstalig. Mijn endler guppies pikken wel naar hen waardoor ze vaak in hun schelp zitten... Welke vissen adviseer jij als tank mates?
Ha Sam, ik heb zelf ook endler guppen erbij. Ondanks dat ze bij jou naar de schelpen pikken denk ik niet dat ze echt schade kunnen doen. Ik zou vooral geen grotere vissen (maanvissen, gouramis, loaches of paradijsvissen) erbij doen. Die kunnen wel kwaad. Succes! -Bart
Haha ja ik ben zeker Nederlands. Just in case you're not: I'm sure these snails will do fine with both bettas and rubber plecos. Those are both fish that can not eat snails once they get larger.
Could you please tell me what your thoughts re on keeping rabbit snails with say...sparkling gourami? I have 4 min tanks, puffers so that’s a definite NO. Celestial Pearl Danios which would be fine but the CPDs ph and temperature is too low I feel to add the rabbit snails, I also have a Neon Green Kubotai tank with a few Ottos and some kuhli loaches but the temperature for the kubotai Rasbora is only 25 /27 at most and ph is too low for the rabbit snails. Out of the, all the closest possible match would be the Sparkling Gourami tank which is. 57 litre (really only 50 as the rest is filter area in the back) this tank is partly planted with aqua earth substrate and some super fine dust black gravel over top but it’s mixed a lil thru now so more a patchy mix of both. It also have a decent sized dragon stone cave I created that takes up centre to one side with a larger type spider wood going from underneath cave up and thru a top opening in rock. I know when rabbit snails are full size they can get pretty big and although the ones I’d be buying soon are very young n small I am taking into a point the fact in future I don’t want the, getting stuck in awkward places in tank and not being able to move then dying. Is there anyway I can private message you maybe via fb messenger to converse more about caring for my rabbits when they arrive. At $15 per very small juvenile snail I really want to make sure I give the, the best chance and don’t kill them. Thanks..Lisa ... Fb messenger Lisa Saxon Toohey ...send me a hello so we can get more advice
Can you help me .. my Rabbit snails are not eating since 7 days .. also they are not moving … i have 30gallon planted tank .. what’s the reason .. snails are still live … but not moving … i was put many snails in my tank but every snails are dead after some days … 😞😞😞
pls help bought rabbit snails from pet co and they are upside down so can any one pls tell me if there dead and my water is good for rabbit snails . thanks
That's a good question. I would not recommend it because chances are that the goldfish will eat the snails. Goldfish are known to sometimes eat snails so I wouldn't risk it.
Ohh that's complex. Sometimes it's just the fish that don't like each other, but there are a few things you can try and check. First make sure that they're actually a male and female, as two males usually fight. Next, you can try adding some more hiding spots so the female can hide. If all else fails you can give your male fish a time out by temporarily moving it to another tank. If that also does not work you maybe have to consider bringing the male back to your local fish store and bringing home another one to see if that's a better match. Good luck!
@@AquariumGenius I've put him back in the tank and everything is fine, I did a lot of research today on the mating habits and all is fine. Thank you for the help.
Great video on the rabbit snail I'm learning all I can about snails because I have read that they can be very helpful at controlling algae especially in planted tanks. I started my first planted tank project and I keep nerite snails to help if I get any signs of algae. Please check out my channel Majestic Cichlids comment and let me know what you think of my channel, please consider subscribing to my channel it goes a long way to help me reach my goal so I can expand and create new content. I have a nice question and answer series if you have any questions about freshwater fishkeeping just post the question in the comments section and I will create a video reply just for you. I have 30 years experience in freshwater fishkeeping. I have kept all types of cichlids, tropical fish, catfish and now I'm taking my first dive into snails and shrimp. I hope to hear from you soon and happy fishkeeping.

I saw it at the store and bought 1 with 2 Nerites. The rabbit snail is so cool.
Thanks for making this video. Your information is very clear and to the point.

Very nice talk...
Do they hybridize ? What's the scoop. I want to get a bunch of different rabbit species, but I don't want hybrids
Very helpful! Thanks!
Glad you liked it Stephen! Cheers -Bart

How large are the baby rabbit snails at birth?

Nice video
Can they thrive in an aquarium that is slightly yellow from tannins?
My rabbit snails don’t come out of their shell???? I got them a few days ago

@@AquariumGenius The snail is about 1 1/2 inches, and I've modified the tank so there's more room for him to move around.
@@samanthabratley7561 ah alright! For now the 3 gallon is fine! Enjoy your snail, they're very pretty
@@AquariumGenius Thank you so much!!!
@@AquariumGenius really? I thought the minimum was 15 gallons per snail
Haha ik vind ze zo schattig, waar heb je ze gekocht??
Dankje! Bij de waterlelie in Enschede. Ik heb ze alleen daar al lang niet meer gezien
Can I keep rabbit snails with black mollies?

I've had the same with my snails. Mine do get more active after a water change so maybe that helps? I don't think they are sick

temperatuur boven de 27 graden anders gaan ze in luilak modus🤣

Yes! Very nice

Can they live with goldfish
That's a good question. I would not recommend it because chances are that the goldfish will eat the snails. Goldfish are known to sometimes eat snails so I wouldn't risk it.

@@AquariumGenius can you plz answer my comment.. its on top..
He's an opaline.
💯👍👍
I m nr 666 liking this 😊😅😂
My betta attacks all types of snails or any living thing lol except these little guys for some odd reason.
Ohh that's so interesting! I've also found these snails to be some tough guys
I was lucky 🍀 i bought one ☝️ and she had 15 babies in two years 😊 I know they’re inbred 😂
can they be in a 10 gallon?
Only when they are small. They grow quite large so at some point I feel it's best to move them
