Observation #3
This weeks observation I have noticed some adversity going on within my aquarium. I noticed plant A is now almost completely dessicated and plant B is half way on it's way to identifying to plant A's adversity. The majority of my organisms were found towards the bottem surface of my tank hidding between the dense soil. The is still a diversity of immaculant life within my MicroAquarium.
Observation #2 Beta Food Pellet added to Aquarium
Oct 21 a Betta food pallet was added to my microaquarium.
"Atison's Betta Food" made by Ocean Nutrition, Aqua Pet Americas, 3528 West 500 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84104. Ingredients: Fish meal, wheat flower, soy meal, krill meal, minerals, vitamins and preservatives. Analysis: Crude Protein 36%; Crude fat 4.5%; Crude Fiber 3.5%; Moisture 8% and Ash 15%
My first initial observation I noticed was the illusion of water that had evaporated from the aquarium. Yet, the production of immense presense of micro organisms were present. I was able to identify my aquarium under a higher powered lens. While viewing under a higher magnification the main organism I identified with were copecodes, ostracod, cadoceran, cyclops, nematodes, and vaticella.

Day 1: Setting up the MicroAquarium
My Initial Observation:
On the first day of the setup I observered an abundance of dynamic organisms sporadically throughout the aqarium. I noticed a spasmic-like pulsing moving organism that displayed a brownish color with a polkadoted body. I also observed a very small opaque translucent organism. While observing, I was also exposed to multiple cyclops
Water Source:
Meads Quarry, Island Home Ave, Knox Co. Tennessee Partial shade exposure Rock Quarry
Included plants:Amblestegium sp. Moss. Collection from: Natural spring at Carters Mill Park, Carter Mill Road, Knox County, TN. Partial shade exposure.
Utricularia gibba L. Flowering plant. A carnivous plant. Original material from south shore of Spain Lake, Camp Bella Air Rd. East of Sparta Tn. in White Co. and grown in water tanks outside of greenhouse at Hesler Biology Building.
