MicroAquarium Entry #5

The last time I went to visit my aquarium, I noticed that there was very little water in it. It was less than half full. This last time, I took all my pictures and they will all be attached in this post. First, is the amoeba that I saw early on in the project (Forest).

The next organism that I caught a picture of was actually dead, but it was an Ostracod, which I thought was very interesting. Originally, I thought it was a Ciliate, but Dr. McFarland told me what it was. I thought the many hairs all over it were the most interesting (Pennak).

Another creature that I found in my aquarium was a Euchlanis. I originally had no idea what it was, but Dr. McFarland helped me with this one also (Pennak). 

Also, I got a picture of the Desmid that I had talked about earlier. It turned out to be Closterium, and it is pictured below (Pennak). 

Earlier, I had talked about seeing several Cyclops and it took me several attempts to capture one on camera because they moved so fast. So here is the picture of one of them (Pennak).

The last organism that I saw was a Philodina, which I thought was one of the most interesting creatures. It's propellors were very neat the way they would move objects that floated into their path (Pennak).
