Nano fish, stocking, feeding, and compatibility.
Your tetras are settled in, and now you’d like a rabbit snail (Tylomelania sp.) grazing the rocks below them. Most tetras aren’t a good match: the snail needs warm, hard, alkaline water at 79-86°F (26-30°C) and pH 7.5-8.5, and the…
Can your guppies and a rabbit snail (Tylomelania sp.) share one tank? We wouldn’t put them together, because the two only share 79-82°F (26-28°C) and never meet on hardness. The snail needs 79-86°F (26-30°C) and 4-8 dGH, while FishBase lists…
Your cichlid tank already runs warm and hard, so why not add a rabbit snail to graze the rock? Because we wouldn’t keep a Sulawesi rabbit snail (Tylomelania sp.) with any cichlid: rift lake cichlids share the hard water but…
Which fish can actually live with Sulawesi shrimp? Almost none: the only kind that comes close is a very small, surface feeding nano fish, added last to an established tank by a keeper who accepts that shrimplets are part of…
