Week 3

On October 28 a few days after a food pellet was added to my microaquarium, I observed:

Annelids: I still see the same amount of annelids but it looks like their size has doubled.

2 Tachysoms: green in color so photosynthetic

about 10 Metopus sigmoides: they liked hanging around the new food supply that was introduced into the aquarium. They have an oblong cell body and their anterior is twisted to the left.

many Rotifers: there is by far more rotifers than any other organism in my microaquarium

Halteria: these are high in number getting closer to the amount of rotifers. They have a spherical
body and long stiff cilia present equatorially. I even saw some of these dividing.
