Golden Spotted Rabbit Snails are peaceful, slow-moving freshwater snails known for their attractive golden shells with dark spots. They thrive in well-established tanks of at least 20 gallons with stable water conditions—temperatures between 72–82°F (22–28°C), pH 7.0–8.0, and moderate hardness. These snails prefer soft sandy or fine gravel substrate for burrowing and require plenty of calcium-rich foods like algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and calcium supplements to maintain healthy shells. They are sensitive to copper and harsh chemicals, so avoid these in the aquarium. Regular water changes and a clean environment ensure their health and longevity.
