Rabit Poso Orange Snail

The Orange Poso Rabbit Snail (Tylomelania sp.) is a stunning freshwater snail prized for its vibrant orange body and distinctive elongated shell. Native to the ancient lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia, this unique snail has become a favourite among aquarists for its striking appearance, peaceful nature, and fascinating behaviour. Its bright coloration creates an eye-catching contrast in planted aquariums and aquascapes.

Rabbit Snails are known for their gentle temperament and active personalities. Unlike many snails, they are often seen exploring the aquarium during the day, moving across substrate, driftwood, and decorations in search of food. They are excellent scavengers and will happily feed on algae, biofilm, sinking pellets, and vegetables.

The Orange Poso Rabbit Snail is easy to care for when provided with stable water conditions and a sandy or fine gravel substrate. Its unique appearance, slow reproduction rate, and peaceful nature make it an excellent choice for community aquariums, shrimp tanks, and planted setups.
