Life has come back to my aquarium. On Friday October 25 one Atison's Betta Food pellet was added to the aquarium, perhaps adding to the jolt in life in the aquarium. Last week a sharp decline in life was
observed, but this week an increase was noticed. Hundreds of Bodos were observed moving around
in seemingly random areas of concentrated populations (Patterson 1992). Also observed were about six worm-like
organisms either moving within the water mosses or living in the top layer of
dirt. The water mosses seemed to be
healthier and greener this week as well and appeared to have cyanobacteria growing on them.
New to this week’s observation are two Cyclopes (Thorp 2010). I was able
to see them without a microscope, but only as small white dotes moving swiftly
about the aquarium, which were later identified with the microscope.
Identified Organisms:
Bodos
Midge
Cyclops
