Week Three
During the examination of my micro aquarium today i discovered a few new things. I began to notice a few larger organisms that were swimming around pretty fast. I later identified them as Rotifers which are shaped sort of wheel-like wiht hairy appendages, free swimming or attached. These Rotifers are transparent and hard to notice at first. The smaller single celled organisms were still present and swimming in their same circulor pattern, there seemed to be even more of them than last week. I also think that there may have been a few ciliates, I will have to further investigate them next week. Finishing up my observations i realized the water was low so i added some more water before returning my aquarium to the light.
