Snail - Orange Rabbit (Sulawesi)
Snail - Orange Rabbit (Sulawesi)
The Orange Rabbit Snail is a unique and highly sought-after freshwater snail originating from the ancient lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Known for its bright orange body, elongated spiral shell, and slow-moving peaceful nature, this fascinating invertebrate adds both colour and character to freshwater aquariums. The Orange Rabbit Snail is especially popular in planted aquariums and nano setups due to its algae-grazing habits and unusual appearance. Its hardy nature and calm temperament make it an excellent choice for aquarists seeking a distinctive freshwater cleanup species.
Features of Snail - Orange Rabbit (Sulawesi)
- Bright orange body with a long conical shell
- Peaceful freshwater invertebrate suitable for community aquariums
- Excellent algae and detritus grazer
- Grows to approximately 8–10 cm
- Slow-moving and non-aggressive behaviour
- Ideal for planted and shrimp aquariums
- Livebearing species with slow reproduction rates
The best aquarium size for Snail - Orange Rabbit (Sulawesi)
The Orange Rabbit Snail thrives in stable freshwater aquariums with a minimum volume of 40 litres. Larger aquariums provide greater water stability and more grazing surfaces for natural feeding behaviour. Aquariums with gentle water flow and mature biofilm growth are ideal for long-term success.
Maintain water temperatures between 24–30 °C, a pH between 7.5–8.5, and moderate hardness to support healthy shell development. Stable water quality is essential, as Sulawesi species can be sensitive to sudden parameter changes.
Tank Mate Compatibility for Snail - Orange Rabbit (Sulawesi)
The Orange Rabbit Snail is highly peaceful and compatible with many calm freshwater species, including:
- Neon Tetra
- Harlequin Rasbora
- Corydoras Catfish
- Cherry Shrimp
- Otocinclus Catfish
Avoid aggressive cichlids, loaches, or snail-eating fish that may damage the snail or its shell.
Diet for Snail - Orange Rabbit (Sulawesi)
The Orange Rabbit Snail is an omnivorous grazer that feeds on algae, biofilm, and decaying organic matter. Supplement natural grazing with algae wafers, blanched vegetables such as zucchini and spinach, sinking pellets, and calcium-rich foods to maintain shell health.
Providing a varied diet encourages healthy growth, vibrant colouration, and active behaviour. Remove uneaten food promptly to maintain excellent water quality.
Aquarium Setup Snail - Orange Rabbit (Sulawesi)
Aquarium Filtration
Gentle but effective biological filtration is recommended to maintain stable water quality without creating excessive current.
Aquarium Plants
Live plants such as Java Fern, Anubias, and Cryptocoryne provide additional grazing surfaces and shelter within the aquarium.
Aquarium Lighting
Moderate aquarium lighting promotes algae and biofilm growth, providing a natural food source for the snails.
Aquarium Heating
A reliable aquarium heater is essential to maintain stable tropical temperatures between 24–30 °C.
Aquarium Substrate
Fine sand substrate is ideal, as Orange Rabbit Snails enjoy burrowing and moving across soft surfaces.
Aquarium Decorations
Include driftwood, smooth rocks, and leaf litter to encourage natural grazing behaviour and provide hiding areas. Mature aquariums with established surfaces are highly beneficial for this species.
