Week 4

In week 4 of the observation of the microaquarium life has once again changed. Many of the organisms inside the aquarium have began to die off leaving many remains behind. All the dead remains seemed to all settle at the bottom with the initial sediment. Most of the organisms alive are larger and more predatorial besides the long chains of cyanobacteria which are photosynthetic. The larger organims are many shelled rotifers swimming around and i witnessed one organism I had not witnessed before was an ostracod (Pond II Larger Microlife 1998 Gordon Peachey, Canada). The more I observed the microaquarium, the more it changed.
