3rd Viewing

The amount of organsims in my aquarium is increasing rapidly! The food pellet is completly dissolved now and all the organisms seem to be concentrated around the plant life and my leaflet piece.





One thing I have noticed a signifigant increase in were the diatoms. Round diatoms and the ice cubed shaped ones. Here are some pics.




















There seems to be some die off of some creatures throughout my aquarium also. Here is an excellent pic of an algae called pleurotaenium. The first pic shows a live one, and the second pic shows a dead one surrounded by diatoms.















Another new organism noticed reminded me alot of the halteria with the cilia coming off the front and back of it. This one is called a tachysoma.






Strangely though i located an organsim i could not identify. It looked a lot like a rotifer, but lacked a tail. It also looked like a paramecia, but the distinct point at its rear threw it off. Here it is by a diatom structure.
