Sadly I was not able to get to my observations until now. My first one was 4 weeks after the set up. Because of the prolonged lack of observations and recordings I was not able to find the same microorganisms as I did when I first set up the micro aquarium, but that is not to say that this observation was unsuccessful. I was able to find many microorganisms that were bot spotted before. Also in my last post I left out my water source so for some clarification the source is from a spring that receives partial sun exposure in Carters Mill Park in Knoxville, Tennessee. So what did I find in the observation?
3. Epalxis sp.
Along with these there were many fast moving microorganisms that were a bit too fast for me to catch on camera. I was also able to see Rotifer eggs and other signs of reproduction which tells me that there were suitable conditions for the thriving of the organisms within the water sample.
