Observation of the MicroAquarium 3

I went and observed my microaquarium on Thursday November 3rd at about 1:00. I saw some different organisms since last weeks observation. For example, I saw several gastrotrich, which is a brown, transparent organism with three lobes and two pairs of tufts with two curved prongs on the end and swims fast. These were found towards the surface of the microaquarium. There were also many paramecium and rotifers toward the surface or around the plants. I also noticed there were not very many organisms near the soil this week. I also saw another cyclops this week. The pellets have gotten much smaller from last week and the two plants in the microaquarium have started turning brown. Through my observation this week, I have come to the conclusion that the organisms are starting to die.
