Since the last observation of my microaquarium, not much has changed. There is still a swarm of life throughout, with a higher concentration around the plants and near the dirt. Below are various pictures of the organisms i have been monitoring. The nematode was by far the most difficult to capture, as they are generally very spastic. The vorticella were equally difficult, but more for their uncanny ability to avoid my attention. The philodinas as usual were very conspicuous and numerous, and remain my favourite creatures to observe. There are and increasing amount of dead diatoms throughout the aquarium as well, with a few remaining to observe alive.
