[The Zigman]

Wow!
Thats a heck-of-a-lotta Snails!

[msjinkzd]

yea, will post a sale thread probably sometime tomorrow. it took me 4 hours to acclimate and sort all the snails today.

[vampie]

Looks like someone finally decided to bring Celetaia persculpta to the States. Gosh, I remember how much I wanted these back in 07.

[DarrylR]

[jackiomy]

Ooh ooh ooh *jumping up and down with excitement*

[ProAquatics]

i need some nerites

[saram521]

Gosh you know, those rabbit snails are so pretty, I may just have to get a few! Any tips on how to create the water conditions they need to thrive? My pH is high, but my kh is 8.

[saram521]

So any of the species with rabbit, do you need male and female?


Are the babies clones of the parents (like with mts) or do they need m/fm pairs to reproduce?



What about tiara snail?

Are tiara snails rabbit snails? How do tiaras reproduce? Are they sulawesi like the rabbits are if they're a different type of snail altogether?

[msjinkzd]

The rabbits need both sexes. I don't know a whole lot about the tiaras, they sure look neat though. i don't know that any survived the trip as of yet :( I will get more info and post it up as I have it.

[thesixis]

:thm::thm:

[vampie]

I'd assume Tiara is just a misspelling of Thiara.

[msjinkzd]

yea here is a link with info on them: http://www.allesumdieschneck.de/html/thiara_winteri_english.html

[Reframer]

OMG- those are awesome!!! What are the rabbits like, what do they eat?

[Hollygirl]

I love the look of the Rabbits. Do they all get to be about 3 to 4 inch in size?

[msjinkzd]

The rabbits are like gigantic mts, they are abotu 3", they move in this really neat lurching motion. They eat veggies or most prepared pellets, I have not foudn them to be difficult. They are sex specific and a modified live bearer (my term). They give birth to single young. They are rumored to eat plants, though I have not had this experience so far. I really like them, a surprising amount in fact.

[Hollygirl]

I originally acquired MTS stock (thank you msjinkzd and dixienut) to eventually breed and satisfy the appetites of my Assassin (antenome helena) tank. I like them so much that I can't bear to put the babies in with the Assassins. I guess I am more than just addicted!

[Vicious_Fish]

They look great Jinkz!

[snoopy65]

To anyone on the fence about the rabbits. They are absolutely fun to watch. My 2 have never eaten any of my plants. They readily eat pretty much anything I put in there- from catfish pellets, veggie pellets, algae disks, cucumber, zucchini, and of course jello. They move like nothing else I have seen. I love mine and can't wait to get some more.

[Death Pony]

How many did you order?!?!?! The yellow rabbits look really cool!

[msjinkzd]

I only got about 30 rabbit snails in, so very limited numbers.

[BioHazard]

Can't wait to see the sale page!

[msjinkzd]

tomorrow :) i like to give them a day or so in teh tank before I list them up

[Inka4040]

Sooo awesome... Cant wait to get my hands on these!
