November 5th - Week 3 Observation

Today, I observed my micro aquarium for the third time since the initial setup. There seemed to be quite a few more organisms present today than were present in the last two observations. Just like the past two observations, I saw several rotifers. I did not see any euglenoids today, but I did spot several new organisms. I was able to identify a coleps species with the help of Dr. McFarland. This organism had a long, oval shaped body with multiple different colors. I also saw a euchlanis species. I was able to identify this one from its football shaped body and its spike-like tail.
