slycat929 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hello All, For those of you who are keeping various types of rabbit snails together, have you noticed any hybridization? I am just getting into the Sulawesi tanks, but I decided to buy a variety of Tylomelania instead of sticking to one type. I am just curious as to whether I should expect some different shell and body colors to start popping up. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 For me, I have not noticed my rabbit snails hybridizing mainly because I never see the babies. I do know that quality of the shell depends on water parameters and calcium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wygglz Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Do keep us posted if you will. We don't have any of these yet, but I'm looking forward to it someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkat67 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thought I'd share my experiences. Yes, they do easily hybridize. I have yellow popping out black babies. They have the ability to store sperm and gestate for a long time. I have yellow-black and yellow-orange hybrids, fertilized before I acquired them.
