Breeding For Profit: Rabbit Snail Care & Breeding!!

[@berenicehickey9755]

Hi from Singapore. Just ordered some gold spotted...thanks for this!😁

[@kerrypitt9789]

I need to buy some of these. They are hard to find here but I want to set up tanks with only Rabbit snails, no other snails.This is a good video!

[@rick2000105]

Thanks Kerry! I appreciate it! And yes you should definitely try and get hold of some, they’re amazing snails!

[@RoxusRemo]

This made training theiving more interesting, subbed.

[@realhusky]

I've got them in PNW! Love these guys

[@Simply4Aquatics]

Remember they do cross breed so keeping them all together will end up with a tank load of hybrids! If you do want to keep them breeding turn they do need to be in species only tank.

[@sulawesi-steve]

There's more than one spieces in the lakes they come from tho?? I'm not saying your wrong (I don't know what's right or wrong, I'm currently trying to find that answer) but wouldn't the lakes be full pf hybrids after the thousands of years they have been around for???

[@berenicehickey9755]

They will definitely cross breed....

[@m1964c]

@@sulawesi-steve I would assume in an entire lake other than a small area they would look for their own. We put in tanks so not many too choose from. 😂😂

Great video mate! I keep my rabbit snails with aragonite sand substrate, it great for the shells as well. I have 5 of the orange poso rabbit snails, I think I have all the same gender, it’s been 9 months and no breeding yet…I’ll just get a few more and🤞 Congrats on yours🙂👍🏻

[@tombassman]

Interesting tips and info, thanks for the video - I have a single yellow rabbit snail and after more than 2 years it’s suddenly started producing babies by itself! I just counted 12 babies but there must be more I couldn’t see as they’re tiny and there are many places to hide.

[@andersnrregren9087]

Some times when a female make clones the clones cant make babys but just something i got told

[@berenicehickey9755]

Does the betta manage the harder water?

[@amimacrae7841]

Ok… I purchased two 5 gallon tanks to give my betas proper set ups. I bought onyx substrate and some live plants. Picked up two orange elephant snails and separated them. Here I am 6 weeks later and one of my tanks has 8+ babies in it 🫣 I was not trying to breed, must be a female who was already knocked up when I adopted her… how on earth do I manage this? How many more babies will I be seeing!!!!!

[@khiburgess5848]

I can never keep them a live long enough water is to soft. I did breed them once when I was adding calcium to the water but it's a ball ache over time.

[@rick2000105]

I’m quite lucky in that respect, my tap water is like liquid rock! I have to use RO for most of my tanks 😅

[@King_DarkSide]

MY GUY! I have a set up similar to yours. It's an 8.5 gallon short and long. Bare bottom, sponge filter air powered for a 40 gallon for best filtration, one long piece of wood. Tank is only 8 inches deep, so they actually go up to eat duckweed. High powered light to keep the back glass saturated in algae. I got 5 of these guys. Hoping I get both sexes. I have cameras set up to try and identify my females! Process of elimination should bring me to breeding pairs if I'm patient enough to find the footage!

[@rick2000105]

Love that! Best of luck identifying them! I’d personally just buy more and leave them to it! 😂

Hello if I want to breading rabbit snail can I take it with Malaysian trumpet snails or shrimps?

[@DysPlexiC115]

Thanks for the video

[@rick2000105]

No worries mate 😊

[@netlans]

I have a single rabbit snail for about 3 months. I moved it to a new tank a few weeks ago. Today I found what appears to be a baby. I mean, how does that happen?

[@berenicehickey9755]

Pregnant when you got her!

[@tombassman]

I’ve had a single rabbit snail for over 2 years and it just suddenly had loads of babies BY ITSELF!

[@Bryanluna1994]

Ohh so they can breed without sand ?

[@rick2000105]

Yer I used to use substrates but with the amount of tanks I’ve got, it’s easier without and they’re happy to breed regardless!

[@RavenBlack534]

I have orange Rabbit snails and I live in Australia, so hard to make these fking things happy

[@Simply4Aquatics]

There all wild collectors and imported.

[@khiburgess5848]

Actually I might give them another go, using the RO waste water.

[@rick2000105]

Should be good as it’s mineral content will be even higher after making RO!

[@arandomguy2]

i was going to add a rabbit snail to my tank but then found out they uproot plants 😢
