Do rabbit snails really hybridize?


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.
