Rabbit snail

[snailpufferguy]

I have a 10 gallon tank with just one platy and an electric blue jack dempsy which I'm going to move to a 60 gallon. I'm also going to get to a bamboo shrimp but I really want to get a rabbit snail because I need a cleaner for my tank right now and I love the way they move and look ;I'm just curious if just one will be happy in a 10 gallon and if he will clean it very well thank you and I will appreciate your answers

A snail is a snail. Though they do clean you likely won't see a noticeable difference. If you are having problems such as algae you need to find the source of the problem.

They are usually plant eaters, so if you wanted a planted tank it might eat your plants.

Better ways to treat algae... feed less, do pwc more and use light less and or with a 3-4 hour break during the day, on 4 hours off 3-4 on 3-4 hours (use a timer).

Snails are pretty awesome though!!! Mystery snails will get large and are neat to watch, several colors too, don't eat healthy plants unless they are starving.

I love my mystery snails. They get really big if cared for properly. I have one the size of a golf ball currently. They are quite active and go around the whole tank. Applesnail.net is a great resource if you'd like to read more about them.

I keep rabbit snails and they definitely like to nibble on my plant's! But I wouldn't say they cause too much damage.
They burrow a lot so they're definitely not as active as my mystery snail's. Definitely my favorite snail ☺
