Squid88 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 looks like a chopstick snail to me which I believe is a variety of rabbit snail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanTruth Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I don't think it's a malaysian trumpet snail as well, but it looks really similar. Whatever the heck it is I think I want one. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 It looks an awful lot like a mts, or at least what I purchased as mts. Although mine have spiky parts where the shell opens. I seem to have two different colors of them with one being a solid tan color and the other has some patterning. I had a yellow rabbit snail and the skin and shell looked different from the one you have, but I'm no expert. As far as chopstick snails, I have no experience but I think that is a good contender. The two different colors of mts the spiky part around the shell opening the face part does look similar though this a rabbit snail and the skin is much more wrinkled looking and the shell has grooves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanTruth Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 @Aubrey That's very interesting. I must admit I wasn't aware that there were 2 different variants of the MTS. I am only familiar with the stripey looking one, because those are the only ones I have had. I have to say all you guys do an amazing job of taking pictures.

Shmaty Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hmm I have at least a half a dozen adult rabbit snails. They show face much more often than this one. I so rarely see it, even rarer more do I see it in the glass. I love my rabbits. There is a few babies roaming around the tank too. They are cute! I love the yellow pop.
