Fourth Observation, November 3, 2011

When I pick up my MicroAquarium today, I can see quite a bit of waste around the plants and at the bottom mud layer. Plants A and B, identified during set-up, are not thriving. Diatoms litter the tank, literally everywhere. Paramecium species have multiplied and congregate mostly in the lower half of the tank. Colochaete irregularis is branching more, but setae are still not present. An Amoeba species seems to move in an oozing fashion (Microscopy-UK 1995-2011). One end looks like a tied balloon. A newly identified organism, Phacus triqueter is present (Forest 296). These algae look like small ovoid-shaped green leaves with a tiny stem. Each has a red eye spot. Seemingly randomly, these algae are stationary mostly in singles or pairs.
