An interesting freshwater snail to keep is the Rabbit Snail. Also called an Elephant Snail, a Rabbit Snail can be a great addition to an established community tank. Rabbit Snails are very peaceful creatures. They are not aggressive by any means, and they seem very curious about their surroundings. Rabbit Snails are active during the day, and can be very active at night. Many hobbyists feel that Rabbit Snail care is relatively easy. As with other freshwater snails, Rabbit Snail care starts with keeping them in a healthy, stable and established aquarium, preferably with substrate on the fine side. Its important to keep Ammonia and Nitrite levels at 0 ppm, and Nitrate levels in check as well. As with other freshwater snails, be careful with medications and plant fertilizers, as snails may be sensitive to them. And this is especially true with Copper. Copper can be harmful or fatal to Rabbit Snails.
