Orange Sulawesi Snails (Tylomelania sp.) or Orange Rabbit Snails are rare and exotic freshwater snails native to the ancient lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia. These vibrant orange snails are part of the Tylomelania genus and are best known for their bold coloration, unique spiral shells, and fascinating behavior. Reaching up to 2 inches in length, they are larger than your average snail and bring an eye-catching presence to freshwater aquariums. With a peaceful temperament and slow-moving nature, Orange Sulawesi Snails make excellent additions to planted tanks and community aquariums. They spend their time cleaning up algae, biofilm, and leftover food while adding a beautiful contrast to any aquascape.
Why Should You Choose Orange Sulawesi Snails?
Looking for something truly different? Orange Sulawesi Snails offer both form and function. Their bright coloration adds a pop of color that stands out against green plants and dark substrates. These aquarium snails are hardy, peaceful, and helpful—making them ideal for hobbyists looking for natural algae control without sacrificing aesthetics. Unlike pest snails, they’re easy to manage and won’t overrun your tank.

Orange Sulawesi Snails Breeding
Unlike most freshwater snails, Sulawesi snails like these are livebearers. Females give birth to fully formed juvenile snails, but they reproduce slowly—making them easy to manage in any setup. If breeding is desired, stable warm water, high mineral content, and plenty of hiding spots will support healthy reproduction.

Avoid aggressive species such as Loaches or large Cichlids that may harass or prey on snails.
