I imported them, as well as all the other nerites and rabbits i have. Only 20 of these guys came in and a few were DOA. I am not sure of their habits yet as I just got them in this morning. Most of the rabbit snails are rumored to eat plants but I have yet to see that behavior in my tanks despite them being planted. I do feed them zucchini every other day.

Mine don't seem to eat plants either. Perhaps they'll only go after certain plants, or maybe it's just a hunger thing.
BTW, the so-called Primitive rabbit snail (Celetaia persculpta) isn't a Rabbit snail at all, it's in the Viviparidae family.

They couldn't possibly eat any more plants than my SAE's already do! LOL!
NICE pics. Good luck with them.

Cool looking!
Wow... last time I saw a live birth I was cleaning merconium up for the next 12 hours... Do baby snails produce merconium?
