week 4

In my week four observations i saw a lot of the same organisms, just a more of them. The diatoms in my tank seem to have multiplied even more since last week. The amebias have also ballooned out. I saw a new organism known as diflusia and a new species of rotifer known as Macrochaetus. There was also new paramecium in my tank as well this week.

week 3

In my week three observations I noticed a lot more diatoms and amibas. There was also some dead protazoa in my tank this week. There was also more algae build up in the tank. Compitition within the tank is building and that is evident in the dead protazoa.
