week 3

During this week's observation, right off the bat I noticed two large midge worms with the naked eye. One had turned a rusty orange color while the other was still white. I also still hade many paramecium and ciliate halteria. There were also many much smaller worms poking out every now and then from under the plants.

The cyclops rotifer was very prominent as well as the stentors. There was also a Cephalodella rotifer which had a much bigger tale than the cyclops and a more cylidrical body. I also noticed clinging to the plants a round organism which i believe to be a Acanthocystis. There is also a yellow round organism which bends slightly and has very transparent feet named Arcella. I also noticed the worm, Blepharisma poking out from the dirt. Diatoms were also much more present as well as some protists.

I didn't notice any dead organisms this week either
