Week Two

I was surprised to see many changes in my Micro Aquarium this afternoon. Seven days ago, a food pellet, "Atison's Betta Food" made by Ocean Nutrition, Aqua Pet Americas, 3528 West 500 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84104. Ingredients: Fish meal, wheat flower, soy meal, krill meal, minerals, vitamins and preservatives. Analysis: Crude Protein 36%; Crude fat 4.5%; Crude Fiber 3.5%; Moisture 8% and Ash 15%, was added to my micro aquarium. Today I discovered several different organisms including a Rotifer that looked as if it was eating a Crustation, Ostracod, from the inside out. The Ostracod appeared to be dead and the Rotifer was inside of it peeking out every few seconds. The "bubbles" I thought I saw during my last observation are Protoza with Cilla, Colpidium and Eupiotes. Lastly, I saw tiny worm-like organisms called Nematodes. My bird bath is more interesting than I first thought it would be. I am looking forward to next week.
