🐌 Rabbit Snail (Tylomelania spp.)
Freshwater Peaceful Detritus & Algae Grazer • Genuine Rabbit-Like Face • Endemic to Sulawesi's Ancient Lakes • Genuinely Slow Breeder
 
📋 The Rabbit Snail is a genuinely distinctive freshwater snail endemic to Sulawesi's ancient lake systems — Poso, Matano, and Towuti — named for its long, fleshy tentacles that give it a genuinely rabbit-like facial appearance, paired with an elongated, conical shell.
We want to be genuinely clear about its origin: this species comes from mineral-rich, warm, alkaline lake water, and genuinely needs matching conditions in the aquarium — standard tropical community-tank water is often too soft and acidic for long-term health.
Unlike most snails, this species is genuinely a slow, controlled livebearer, typically producing just one fully-formed baby snail every four to six weeks rather than large egg clutches, making genuine overpopulation virtually impossible.
