On November 6, I took some time to observe my MicroAquarium. Some of the changes that I recorded were the presence of a particular desmid as well as the new arrival or growth of euglenoids. These euglenoids, under 400x, seemed to be flagelated , light green in color and the appearance of a red eye spot was noted. The desmids were green with a linear formation almost always connected. I also observed a number of dead copepods remains, some with algae growing out of the shell. The life span of a copepod can range from a week to a year, which leads me to the conclusion that there is definitely a predatory relationship within this MicroAquarium. I was pleased to be able to get a video of one of my philodina rotifers as well as a new worm organism, the turbellarian and they they were prospering. More pictures to follow!
