Week 2


This week I added water and beta food was dropped in. There seemed to be considerably less movement in my tank. There were several lady bug looking things that are juvenile cyclops. A couple of mature cyclops were visible. Several nematodes were seen, as well as, what appeared to be a stylaria. I saw probably 3 different rotifers, a couple paramecium, filamentous green algae, and my moss.

Week One

A. I used sample ten in my Micro Aquarium and moss sample C.
B. Stationary and moving organisms were both visible. Organisms seemed to stay mostly on top or bottom. I spotted what looked to be a lynceus 2, triops, spirotomum, paramecium bursaria (many green looking balls), chaetogaster (white worm looking thing 2), a clear worm that had segments (possible nematode??), purple gauzy thing that spins around (kellicottia or keratella??), and clear bugs with spots that look like ladybugs 4.
