Observations from October 23rd.

On October 23rd. the micro aquarium was quite active, and although no species were officially identified, several images of the present organisms were obtained.  I noticed several micro-organisms including several Rotifers, two Amoebas, Coplidium, and a Euglenoid; all of which were largely  concentrated around the plants in the micro-aquarium with a few floating free in the middle.  All organisms observed were plainly visible under 10x magnification.  The above pictures were all taken using my phone's camera.  Closer observation will be needed to determine exactly what the microorganisms are however.

 

This video was taken utilizing the camera on my Samsung galaxy 4 and shows the movement of a Rotifer that is attached to a nearby plant.

An amoeba is visible in the upper right of this image.  It should be noted that several others like this were viewed this week.

The tiny micro organism in the middle of this image was present with a great deal of abundance, images of the organisms were difficult to obtain, however, due to the high speed with which they swam around the aquarium.

In this image, a Rotifer is visible hanging on to the adjacent plant with its toes.
