Week 4 Observation


I did my last observation on Wednesday, November 10, 2010.  I didn't notice any changes since the previous week.  There were still quite a few Tachysomas throughout the MicroAquarium, as well as several Seed Shrimp and Cyclopses.  I was finally able to spot a Nematoda, which may be the mysterious organism I kept spotting but not being able to see clearly enough to identify.

Nematoda (identified from Thorp and Covich 1991)
