Black Mystery Snail
The Black Mystery Snail is a popular aquarium inhabitant and will do well even in small aquariums with a capacity of no more than 10 gallons.
When you find these snails in aquarium stores, they will typically have a size of 3/4" to 1-1/4". As your snail grows older, it can reach a size of 2". This type of snail is not an aggressive species and it is therefore suitable for community aquariums with docile fish species. You should naturally not house it with fish species that eat snails in the wild, unless the fish is very much smaller than the Black Mystery snail.
This snail belongs to Apple Snail family. In the Apple Snail family you can find roughly 120 snail species and many of them are popular in aquariums. Just like all the other snail species from this family, this snail has a siphon that is use to breath oxygen from the air.
The Black Mystery snail will stay submerged near the waters surface in the aquarium and stretch up the siphon into the air. It is very important that the Black Mystery snail is not denied access to the surface in the aquarium, since this will cause it to suffocate.
Leave a gap of at least 2 inches between the water and any lid. In its native waters of Brazil, the Black Mystery snail will spend the day resting and become active at dark. It will spend most of its time submerged, but it can actually walk on land in search of food. When it is kept in an aquarium, you can see it scavenging for food in the substrate or sliding up the glass to breath at the surface.
As the name implies, the coloration of this snail is mainly black, but you can find specimens that are decorated with golden and ivory colors too. The pattern varies between each individual snail.
They can adapt to most pH values as long as your avoid the extremes, but ideally to keep the pH from 6.5 to 8.0 and avoid rapid changes. The preferred dH range is 12-18 and the recommended water temperature 68-85 degrees F.
The Black mystery snail is an omnivore species that will happily eat left over fish food and help you keep the aquarium clean.
You can for instance feed it flakes and frozen food. It will also eat algae and dead and decaying plant matter. If the aquarium is without any plants, you should regularly feed your snail vegetables and algae based food.
Sexing Black mystery snails is difficult, but when two snails of similar age have been kept on a similar diet in the same environment, the biggest of them will typically be the female one. A Black Mystery snail is never hermaphroditic. During the breeding period, the female will deposit her eggs in clutches over the waterline.

The Digital Age of Keychains
Pictures say a thousand words that is why we collect them every time we have the chance. Family albums are stocked with family pictures during birthdays, anniversaries, prom nights and graduation parties. Weddings are not complete without capturing the event through wedding photos. From the day a child is born until the day he or she dies, all of which are captured in film or digitally.
Sometimes, albums are not enough to keep all the photos you have taken in the past years. Keeping an album also can be costly especially if you have thousands of photos at hand. There is now a better way to store your photos and that is through the latest gadgets such as digital cameras, online albums and even through digital photo keychain.
Advancement in technology in the last 5 to 10 years made a lot of things unnecessary. Now, snail mail is seldom used for emails are much faster, less costly and more convenient. Trains and ships are replaced by airplanes to get from one country to the next. The same is true for showing off photographs. It is now considered “old school” to show off the photo of your child that you are keeping in your wallet. The new way of doing that is by using digital photo keychains.
The photos inside the digital photo keychains are not subject to fading unlike the printed versions that you put inside your photo albums. It is much more convenient to have with you for it is not bulky and is lightweight as well.
Some keychains have an automatic shut off ability so that it saves on battery. The device will automatically turn off if it detects two to three minutes of inactivity. A lot of digital photo keychains can store to as much as 60 photos. You cannot have that much photo in your wallet but you can bring it around with you conveniently with the digital photo keychain.
A lot of research is now being done for advanced keychains such as this. In the near future, expect larger capacity for photo storage, state-of-the-art designs, longer battery life span and higher resolution of photos.
