For my final observation of my MicroAquarium, I was really hoping to discover a new organism that I hadn't seen in the previous weeks, unfortunately I only saw organisms that I had already discovered. I couldn't stay disappointed for too long though because these tiny creatures really are fascinating to watch. The annelids still dominate the majority of life within the Aquarium, but there were not quite as many as there were the last time I looked. The ostracod were still hanging around, as they had always been. I was not able to find my "big-boy" seed shrimp again, however there were still several cyclops that I was able to spot. I was also able to get a poor-quality shot of a rotifer that I saw swimming around. It was sad to say good-bye to these little guys, but I will always have a small sense of comfort when I see stagnant water.. and now that I know exactly what is hanging around in H2O, I will think twice about drinking any water thats not been purified!
