This week my aquarium did not seem to have as much life has it had in the past. A lot of the smaller organisms were no where to be found, and the larger ones had started to disappear. The seed shrimp seemed to still be doing just fine. There were still a lot of them and they all looked healthy. There is not as much mud at the bottom. I figure it was from all the organisms eating it, but with there being fewer organisms, I don't know why this happened.

Here are some pictures that I have taken of my micro aquarium after it had been set up for three weeks.

When observing my micro aquarium this week I noticed that there was a lot more life. At first it was hard for me to find any life in the aquarium, now it is almost impossible to not see any through out the whole micro aquarium. I could see many Vorticella, Euplotes, and ostrocods(seed shrimp).
I took a few pictures any a video that will be posting as soon as I get them on my computer.

I last observed my micro aquarium on 10/21 there was a lot more life that I noticed this time then the last. There was a lot more organisms that I saw. Mr. Mcfarland helped me find about three new species that I did not see the first time. I sketched them out and recorded their appearances and movements so that I can identify them at a later time. I did not have time to take any pictures, but I hope too next week and will have all the species identified by then. I will keep you informed on the later observation and will hope to have species identified and pictures for you by next week.
