Changes from Beginning to End


There have been many changes from when I first started the microaquarium until now. New organisms have seemed to appear, while others died off. While examining the bottom of the tank I found numerous dead organisms. A big change I noticed was the amount of cyclops found in the tank. When I started, there were only two or three, but at the end, there were atleast fifteen in the tank. Some of which were females with egg sacks. Another change I noticed were the amount of protists suspended in the water. In the first couple of weeks, this was not really visible. After the feeding, the amount of protists in the aquarium multiplied tremendously. The picture shows the great amount of protists suspended in the water. The other organism is a rotifer.
