Week Four _ The Loss of a Life

Today was a sad day in the life of the MicroAquarium. First organism I found was a Lecane Rotifer. However this Rotifer was not active like others in his family. He was pronounced dead at the scene. I was able to identify him as a Lecane Rotifer. May he rest in peace. Also identified Paramecium, Oscillatoria, Melosira, and Euplotes. Pictures will be posted by next week. Along with descriptions of these different organisms that I have identified. Each week allows me to narrow down species of organisms. P.S. I think the Beta Food Pellet might have been poison to Arthour the Rotifer. More information to come...
