Observation of Micro-Aquarium 5 Nov 2013

The aquarium is teaming with microscopic life! There are orange globular spots around the utricularia gibba.  I also captured a video of Chaetonotus (Pennak) which is a Gastrotricha as seen in figure 5. The most common life in the aquarium appears to be the Paramecium Aurelia (Rainis, Russell). The teardrop shaped growth in fig 2. of the 22 Oct Blog entry, appears to have died.  It has changed color from blue to gray.
