Week Five



























This week things seem to look pretty much the same as last week the same rotifers were seen moving around eating particles. There seemed to be a few more single celled organisms seen moving about. The video above of the Philodina Rotifer shows the Rotifer eating things and then i tapped on the stage and the Rotifer immediately callapsed and then after a few seconds came back up. The picture about of the organism is a Lacaeing Rotifer it moves quickly around the aquarium and it was extremely hard to get a good picture of eating or actually in motion. There is a picture above of the trap that i talked about in my blog last week. The aquarium has shown significant growth over the past five weeks and will continue to grow and more organisms will probably start to show up.
