First Week Observations

After the first week my aquarium looked much more lively. There were small brown spots that covered the walls of my micro organism and there were many more single celled organisms like Halteria sp.,

and Paramecium sp.




The insect larva (Diptera) found during the first observation had grown substantially and were eating up some of the plant life that was placed in the aquarium. 

I observed different plant life providing support to the rest of the living organisms such as Spiragyra sp., 
 Surirella sp.,

and Mougeotia sp.

There were a lot more of the smaller single celled organisms, the same amount of bigger organisms like the Diptera, and some parts of the plants have started to decay, but there were not yet dead organisms laying in the dirt at the bottom. Most of the moving organisms have accumulated at the lower middle area of the aquarium.
