Observations on 10/28

I would like to open today with stating that a Beta Fish food pellet was added to the aquarium on Friday, the 22nd. Due to this the aquarium was teeming with life today, mostly organisms that I observed in my last post. These included Copepod, Didinium and Daphnia, the Daphnia were much larger and I even watched one eat and then defecate. I did see some organisms that I hadn't seen before, these were Chilomonas and Euglena. Towards the end of my observation session, Doctor McFarland came over and helped me identify more organisms. These organisms were Lecane Rotifera and Aspidisca.
