Week 1

So the first week has passed since my micro-aquarium has been completed. This has given a chance for many organisms to become acquainted with their new home and environment. This being said i was able to see much more activity when looking at the aquarium. Due to a lack of my notes being in my hands i won't be able to give specific names until a later update this week. But i saw many new multi-celled organisms swimming around, feeding off plants and feeding off of other dead organisms. Also one of the plants has begun to exercise its right to eat by creating pouches in which organisms may enter but not leave, thus digesting and turning them into food and energy for the plants. I'll have more detailed information as soon as i find my notes.

week 0

in my microaquarium i used water from tank 6. I placed 2 different plants inside, one from dish A and one from dish B. Looking at it under the microscope i saw many different organisms. They were mainly around the plants from the two dishes, and around some of the ground cover from the tank. there were multiple multicelled organisms on the plant material, and a good few unicelluar organisms swimming between the two. The Unicellular organisms were very very active. Swimming sporadically from leaf to leaf and around the plants.
