Week3 description

Today Friday, October 29, 2010 my microaquarium contains more organisms then it did a week ago. It contained numerous amounts of clear-like worm called a nematode. I witnessed a cyclops digging a hole in the dirt at the bottom. A flagellates called actinosphaderium was present. Many small and large rotifers were seen swimming around. I also saw two Lepoeincils, which are fresh water pollution algae. There were also rivularia, filter clogging algae and a few anteistrodesmus.

Week 2 description

The first thing I noticed this week was a piece of one of plants was above the water level and had completely turned brown and withered up. I saw a few micro invertebrates called cyclops, as well as baby cyclpos. I also noticed a daphina, which is another micro invertebrates; feeding of a plant. There was also two different kinds of worms a clear nematode and a green worm attaching to one of the plants almost like a leech. There were also a few actinosphaerium, which are sacrodinids. One plant was covered in what looked like brown algae.
