    I recently took an interest for rabbit snails, however, I just can't find much info on them!

    In particular, can anyone help me with these points?
    1. Ideal water parameters: pH, hardness,
    2. Optimal temperature
    3. Mineral supplements
    4. Best diet.
    5. Other special requirements (sand vs gravel, hiding places, brackish, high/low light)

    Also, do the different colored snails interbreed, or are they incompatible subspecies?

    If they can interbreed, I'm going to try to get an interesting cross going on ;d

    I'm keep sulawesi snails with my sulawesi shrimp tank. Those orange type they have since breed my water parameter are as follow

    ph 7.6-7.0
    GH 8-10
    Kh 5
    TDS 250

    I don't know what to feed them cause i sheldom feed my sulawesi shrimp just let them pick on the biofilm once in awhile i will put in half a piece of algea waffer and the snails will rush and snatch it from the shrimp. At other times i just put in ketapang leave that have been soak in water for a mths or so and i put it in they will also munch in it take a few days to finish a leave for 2 snails + 1 baby

    Thanks for sharing. How much of your plants do they eat?
