Invertebrates
Rabbit Snail.
A slow, charming freshwater snail with a long pointed shell and a bunny-like face — peaceful, beginner-easy, and a tireless detritus grazer. It breeds very slowly (no overrun) and is happy in a 10-gallon-plus tank with stable, harder water.

Live animals are sold in store only — we do not ship fish, coral, or invertebrates. Every animal is acclimated and health-checked in-house before it reaches the sales floor. This is a species we carry — it's most likely in the tanks around delivery days, but live stock changes daily. Please call (814) 456-9445 to confirm availability before you drive in.

Good tank mates
Rabbit snails are slow, peaceful grazers that are safe with virtually all community fish, shrimp, and other peaceful snails, making them an easy add to a planted tank. Avoid keeping them with known snail-eaters such as loaches and pufferfish, which will attack them. They generally leave healthy plants alone and focus on algae and debris.
Good to know
Unlike most aquarium snails, Tylomelania reproduce very slowly, giving birth to a single fully formed baby snail at a time rather than laying clutches of eggs, so they never overrun a tank.

Bronze Cory
Genuine parameter overlap exists: Corydoras tolerate pH up to 8.0, GH up to 19 dGH, and temperatures to 81°F — all of which intersect with Rabbit Snail requirements (pH 7.5–8.5, GH 10–20, 76–86°F). A tank maintained at pH 7.5–7.8, GH 10–15, 78–80°F satisfies both. They are peaceful bottom-dwellers that do not nip or prey on snails, and multiple aquarium specialists confirm this pairing.
Assorted Guppy
Guppies are the strongest parameter match in the list. They prefer hard, alkaline water (pH 7.0–8.5, GH 8–12+) and tolerate temperatures up to 82°F — aligning well with Rabbit Snail requirements on all three axes. Peaceful livebearers with no predatory or nipping behavior toward snails.
- N
Nerite Snail
Nerite Snails share Rabbit Snails' core requirement for alkaline, hard water (pH 7.0–8.5) and are entirely peaceful. There is no territorial conflict between the two snail genera, no predatory behavior in either direction, and both serve algae-grazing roles without competition. One of the safest pairings possible.
