Chocolate rabbit snail requirements
When setting up an aquarium for your chocolate rabbit snails, keep in mind that due to their adult size, these snails won't do well in nano setups. Try going for a tank of at least 10 gallons to be safe and prevent overstocking.
All the regular tank setup guidelines apply. Ensure your aquarium is well-filtered and always fully cycled before any livestock is introduced. A working heater is also a must, as the Sulawesi lakes are naturally very warm and these snails don't respond well to cold.
Rabbit snails appreciate plenty of hiding places and relatively dim lighting. Also be sure to provide plenty of leaf litter at all times: this makes a great natural food source. If leaf litter and other foods are lacking, these snails won't shy away from taking a bite out of any soft aquarium plants they can find. Stick to sturdy plants and make sure your rabbit snails don't go hungry.
Chocolate rabbit snail water quality
Like most creatures from the Sulawesi lakes, chocolate rabbit snails appreciate a relatively high pH. You'd do well to avoid soft water, as it can cause shell deterioration over time.
Keep a close eye on your water values. Any traces of ammonia or nitrites can be toxic and you should ideally keep nitrates under 10. Do regular water changes to keep the water quality high.
pH: 7.5-8.5
Temperature: 27-30 °C
