Some of the larger organisms I observed were:
Aeolosomun sp. (Pennak pg.299)
Euchlanis sp. (Pennak pg.171)
Amoeba sp.
There were less but still a plenty of smaller organisms such as
Euplotes sp. (Pennak pg.145)
The aquarium was also still plentiful in algae and diatoms such as
Mougeotia sp. (Prescott pg.102)
and
Unnamed Diatom
There was is much more decay in the aquarium of things like leafs and dead organisms. The presents of algae seems to remain similar to the making of the aquarium, and the larger organisms seem to be flourishing while feeding on the smaller organisms, but they are still maintaining a relevant population.
