This week I observed much of the same organisms that I did last week. The amount of dirt on the bottom was around the same level, and the organisms were all the same color. I did not see any new organisms this week, so the same ones are listed:
Rotifers: there was a vast abundance of these, possibly from the food pellets that were introduced into the system this week.
Seed shrimp: I found three of these organisms this week, and they were spread throughout the microaquarium.
Nematodes: these were seen throughout the microaquarium. The smaller ones were said to be younger than the long and thick ones. I saw a dead one inside a plant bladder, which injests nematodes and dissolves them to use in the plant.
