Live-bearing (ovoviviparous): young develop in a brood pouch and are born one at a time as fully formed snails.
Keep 3-5 in a group and let them pair up.
40 L tank with hard alkaline water, rocks, wood and a sand base.
Stable warm water and regular feeding.
Embryos grow in the female's brood pouch; each young is pushed out in a soft white egg capsule that dissolves, releasing a fully developed snail, one at a time at intervals. No release interval is documented for this species.
Baby snails look like adults and graze on biofilm; leave them in the tank.
One breeding tank for the orange poso rabbit snail, drawn to scale from the breeding guide.
Water: 26–30 °C · pH 7.5–8.5 · hard water · sand bottom
A plan from the breeding guide and an adult size of 5.4 cm. Tank shape is a standard 2 : 1 : 1.2 box, at least 6 adult lengths long. Check each step in the guide above.
A 120 cm rack for breeding the orange poso rabbit snail in numbers.
In total: 4 tanks, about 240 L of water. A litre of water weighs about 1 kg, so check that the floor and rack can take the weight.
Sizes are worked out from the breeding tank in the guide. Tanks fit a standard 120 cm rack when they can; bigger tanks go on their own stands.
Sexes are separate, but males and females look the same; there is no easy external way to sex them.
Typical for snails
Clutches appear on glass, plants or above the waterline.
Baby snails hatch in about 2–4 weeks. Too many? Feed less.
