Week 3

BLOG 3

List of organisms
1. Euchlanis sp. rotifer
2. Litonotus sp. 
3. Coleps sp.
4. Halteria sp.
5. Arcella sp.

This week a food pellet was added to the MicroAquarium. This increased the amount of living organisms greatly. I was able to see many Euchlanis sp. rotifers swimming around and them eating a dead organism. The Litonotus sp. was also seen again, looking the same as last week. Overall, the MicroAquarium had much more life and I was able to identify some new organisms.

The image below is a Halteria sp. (Patterson, 1992).


The image below was identified as a Arcella sp. (Patterson, 1992).
