Week 5

The last viewing of the MicroAquarium was very interesting. It appeared that the Prokaryotes had essentially completely taken over. I witnessed many of them at the top of the Aquarium and a few in the middle. The bottom of the Aquarium looked like a desolate wasteland. I found four shells of dead Diatoms, a small living diatom, and a nematode that I'm pretty sure was dead. i suspect that the Euglenoids were still staying alive by using the Fontinalis sp. moss as a food source, because I assumed that most of the other food sources had been depleted and that was the only healthy looking plant left.
