Week two already, and time to make my first observations since beginning this project outside of the initial setup. I have already noticed several changes to my microaquarium, being that there are different organisms and more movement in the microaquarium. One of the first things that I noticed was Vorticella. Dr. McFarland helped me to identify this. This organism is a protozoa that has a very vaselike structure with cilia attached to it. I also noticed a difflugia. This had a very unique shape to it. It almost looked like a spore, with the hole taken out of it. Below, I have attached all of the organisms that I have discovered as well as a picture of my microaquarium.
