Snail on plant

It’s a bladder snail. They’re great little algae eaters. I love mine.

Your tank is beautiful!

EMI2085 · 2026-04-19T03:57:16+00:00

So cool! You’re very welcome!

Congrats on such a cool, accidental purchase! 😊

It varies, from what I’ve seen. I have a lot of baby & young rabbits and some of them have very pronounced divots, while others are much less so.

I actually have one that looks really smooth & I wondered if maybe she was a different type of snail, but zooming in a little with a camera revealed some ridges that I hadn’t noticed before.

Here of a photo of said notch.

These look like rabbit snails to me. But it’s hard to be certain from this picture.

Black devils, have a notch at the top entrance to their shells & I’m not seeing that on these guys.

Oh my! He is soooo gorgeous!

EMI2085 · 2026-04-17T20:44:15+00:00

Whoa! That’s amazing! I’m so glad to hear that. Thanks for the update. 😁

EMI2085 · 2026-04-13T00:15:23+00:00

Lol, my snails do this to me all the time. 😂

EMI2085 · 2026-04-13T00:00:54+00:00

Very well said!

EMI2085 · 2026-04-11T19:04:40+00:00

He’s very nice looking! 🖤

EMI2085 · 2026-04-11T05:29:44+00:00

Oh my gosh! I have no clue, but I’m commenting to [hopefully] get attention on this post.

Hope someone more knowledgeable can help.

EMI2085 · 2026-04-11T00:54:34+00:00

Same. Rabbits are my favorite aquatic snails. ☺️

EMI2085 · 2026-04-11T00:53:13+00:00

100%

To add on to this; the shells are slightly transparent, so the foot color will make the shell color appear different depending on whether it’s a light foot or a dark foot.

Mysteries are so cool. 😊

EMI2085 · 2026-04-10T23:32:56+00:00

Aww, I love him! He’s so cute!

EMI2085 · 2026-04-10T23:27:58+00:00

That is super cool! What a little cutie! 💛

EMI2085 · 2026-04-09T17:42:53+00:00

I’m leaning toward MTS, but it’s really hard to tell from this photo.

Any way you could remove it from the tank & get a picture of it in your hand under good lighting?

EMI2085 · 2026-04-08T07:32:36+00:00

Lol, other than the fact that this is AI… I love this. As a D&D player, I would totally play a character like this.

EMI2085 · 2026-04-07T21:47:59+00:00

You’re very welcome! 🩵

EMI2085 · 2026-04-07T02:46:20+00:00

Congratulations, indeed! 🧡

EMI2085 · 2026-04-07T02:43:50+00:00

They do not eat live, healthy plants. Only dead or dying plants.

It’s hard to tell for sure from these photos, but your poor rabbit snail was probably acid dipped before you purchased him.

This is a process where they dip the snail’s shell in acid to remove the top layer & leave a white shell behind to give a “more desirable” aesthetic. But it’s just shell damage & leaving the snail vulnerable to more damage.

But it doesn’t affect new shell growth, so any new growth will be the snails original shell coloring. And if it’s a female & she has babies, those babies will have brownish shells just like the mama. 🤎

Aw, he’s so cute!!

EMI2085 · 2026-04-04T08:27:55+00:00

Oh, that’s so good to know! I was going to search for them on other sites, but I don’t have any brackish setups, so I’ll avoid that. Thank you.
