First Week Observations of a Microaquarium

The observations on October 23, 2012 were much more interesting than the previous week.  Within the aquarium was observed three rodifers, one spyrogyra, and multiple tachysoma.  The water mite was especially active and avoided the light of the microscope.  The rotifera were perhaps the most interesting of the single celled organisms within the aquarium as it appeared that they were slowly chewing away at the leaves of both plants within.  The tachysoma had the appearance of small worms that seemed to be burrowing through the plant leaves.
