Observation 4
11/7/13

This weeks observation the MicroAquarium was full of many different and new organisms. Throughout the whole tank organisms were moving around. The Colpidium, Flagella, and Diatoms seemed to be prospering as there was many of those organisms throughout the tank. The two new organisms I found this week include Epalxis (Figure 1.) and Litonotus (Figure 2.). The Epalxis were everywhere in my MicroAquarium and last week they were no where to be found. The organisms were spread out and seemed bigger in size. The Beta food was gone and I feel like next week some of the organisms may start to die. Algae and Bacteria were also throughout the whole MicroAquarium. Week 5 observations should show many changes, as this week's changes were tremendous.
