Week 3

When observing my MicroAquarium this week I noticed several drastic changes. Such changes as the fact the water level had dropped and some of the vegetation was not submersed anymore. I also noticed how the beta food pellet was no longer there but had finally been dissolved into the water. Lastly, although the vegetation was still a vivid green, when looking for microorganisms through the microscope lenses, it appeared as if their numbers had decreased significantly. This was apparent when I was searching through the muck that was collected at the bottom of the MicroAquarium where Cyclops sp. inhabit, yet there were none present. Next, when trying to locate the Parameciulm sp. with Chlorella sp. present within it, the spot in which they were trapped within was empty. Finally after 30 minutes of looking around for microorganisms, I spotted an insect larvae moving within the vegetation. Overall, the MicroAquarium appears that it is slowly coming to an end with the microorganims beginning to die.
