Third Check Up

this week was my third time to check on the mircoaquarium i built. there was a noticeable change in the vegetation in my water. very small green plants seemed to be growing everywhere. it looked to me like filamentous algea. i mosty saw the same creatures as last week but there were a few new ones. i saw some difflugia, euplotes, rotifers, and either vorticella or epistylis, i could not be certain (Free-Living, Freshwater Protozoa: A Color Guide). the food pellet i placed in there last week was completely dissolved. the were alot more very small organisms swimming around everywhere. my main plants seemed to be growing as well. the ends were curled up like a fern does.
