Difflugia Corcha
This is a Difflugia Corcha, as you can see it has little spike like things that help it move upward.
Week 5
This is the final week I observed my micro aquarium. The population seemed to have died out, or rather there were fewer organisms in my aquarium. The bladder pod plant seemed to be dying also. There were not as many diatoms and rotifers that I could see.
I did see a lot of nematodes floating around this week. Along with a organisms called difflugia corcha. It was a brown circular organisms with spike like things on the end that help it move upward. I will post a picture of it soon. Overall, this last week everything seemed to die out.

Week 4
There was a change in organisms-meaning that there was less organisms than there were last week. Either they have died off or they just was not visible this time. There were knew things that I did observe this week and I now have pictures and videos posted.
Actispherium was attached to the moss plant, with hairy like strings coming out from it. A green algea was also sticking out from the moss plant. A vorticella was attached to the bladder pod plant and it was constantly bouncing around. Also a rotifer called Collotheca, on the bladder pod plant had a open end with hair like projecting out of it (in the video it you can see it moving a little, then Dr. Mcfarland tapped his finger on it and the collotheca got scared and went back in. Then you can see it coming back out).
