Today, I observed my micro aquarium for the last time. I immediately noticed a dramatic increase in the amount of organisms inside the micro aquarium. Most were organisms that I had already identified in my past observations, but I did find one new organism. A Vorticella sp. I was not able to get a picture of it but I was able to successfully identify it (Bick, Pg. 13, Fig. 4A). Among the other organisms I saw today were Gastrotrichs sp., Rotifer sp., and Euchlanis sp.
