Fragilaria



The above are Fragiliaria. They are surface water algae. It appears to be a stationary organism. It is multicellular. The algae is shaped like a ribbon but forms bricks over time. It is photosynthetic. There are numerous Fragilaria spotted in my micro aquarium. They are mostly found around the plant that has been placed in the water.
