Aquarium Contents

Observation Date: 10/14/08

When putting together my micro aquarium in lab, I selected water number three. To this I added plants from both sources A and B. When observing for the first time I did not notice a large amount of life. I did however see 3 or 4 "worms" (Chaelogaler limmaei) and a small group of Caenomorpha which are sometimes called "umbrellas." The other things that were viewable was the plant life that was inserted in to the micro aquarium.

I found both of these lifeforms in the book "Freeliving Freshwater Protozoa" by D.J. Patterson.
