Dwarf Black Rabbit Snail (Tylomelania sp.)

Notice: These are wild caught and some defects to the shell can occur.

The Dwarf Black Rabbit Snail is an exotic freshwater snail from Sulawesi, Indonesia, known for its deep black to dark brown coloration, elongated spiral shell, and signature “rabbit-ear” facial tentacles. This dwarf variety stays much smaller than full-size rabbit snails—typically around 1–1.5 inches—making it a great option for planted aquariums, shrimp tanks, and smaller community setups. Slow-moving, calm, and full of personality, it adds a unique focal point without disrupting tank balance.
