How To Safely Add Fish To Tank

1. Set live stock aside with transportation bag in room temperature place for 30 minutes.
2. Then transfer bag to float in aquarium for another 30 minutes
3. Use a fish net to transfer the live stock by scooping it from the bag into the tank.

Note: Do not release live stocks together with the transportation water into tank.

Keeping Rabbit Snails in Singapore Aquariums

Rabbit snails, from the Tylomelania group, are some of the most characterful invertebrates we stock, with their long faces, textured shells and slow, deliberate grazing across the substrate. Unlike many pest snails they reproduce very slowly, giving birth to a single well-developed baby at a time, so they will not overrun a tank. That makes them a tidy, low-risk clean-up crew that works mulm and biofilm without the population explosions keepers dread.

They come from warm, harder, mineral-rich waters, so our 27 to 29 degree ambient suits them temperature-wise without a heater. The one thing to watch is water hardness: Singapore tap is on the soft side, so supplementing with a mineral or providing a harder substrate helps keep their shells solid and pitting at bay. Never use copper-based medications around them. Acclimatise slowly after transport, as snails dislike sudden parameter shifts.
