This week I found it difficult to find anything at all in my MicroAquarium. However, I did see quite a few Euglenoids and Diatoms swimming about. I thought it was strange that the life forms in the Aquarium reverted to these simple, single-celled organisms. The nematode, which had previously been the most common organism to observe, was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't find a single one.
The other thing I noticed was unhealthy appearance of the plants in my Aquarium. Both the Utricularia gabba and the Amblestegium varium Lindberg were very brown and almost shriveled up. However, I did notice some algae lingering around them. The Fontinalis sp. moss was the only plant which seemed to still be somewhat thriving. Many of the Euglenoids were found swimming around this moss.
