first check up
This week we observed our microaquariums. the very first thing i did was drop the food down in the water. i then observed my aquarium under the microscope. i saw more movement in the soil. my plants did not change much at all as far as i could tell. the main organisms i saw were a type of round worm that wiggled around a whole lot, the cyclops which also had a lot of movement, a snail looking organism that moved a little, and a spirogyro euglena that moved very little (Freshwater Biology). they all seemed to like being close to the bottom.

Do you know the names of the plants you added? Why do you suppose the bottom of the aquarium had the most activity?
ReplyDeleteyes one plant is the Amblystegium varium and the other is carnivous plant from the shores of Spain lake. Im guessing that the organisms like to use the sediment as cover.
