- Tank Size: While they can grow to be 2 inches long, Yellow Rabbit Snails are not active swimmers and don't require a massive tank. A 10-gallon tank is sufficient for a small colony.
- Water Conditions: They thrive in clean, well-maintained water with a moderate flow. They are adaptable to a wide range of water parameters but prefer slightly hard water.
- pH: 7.0-8.5
- Temperature: 72-82°F (22-28°C)
- Diet: Omnivores. They will eat algae, biofilm, detritus, and leftover food. They can benefit from occasional supplements like calcium wafers or blanched vegetables.
