I set up my micro aquarium by adding water from the bottom, middle, and the surface of container 8, I also was sure to collect some debris to accurately replicate the natural environment. After filling the micro aquarium with water I added Mossa moss to help create an effective ecosystem. After doing this I made observations.

Week 1

During week 1 I noticed many diferent forms of algae in the water. I also noticed simple single celled organisms that just seemed to ooze along when the moved. I also noticed a microscopic shrimp like organism that swam like a fish, other organisms scattered when this organism got to close which made me curious as to if it is a predator. The most intriguing organism I noticed were small round organism that swam with frontal fins, it resembled a turtle when it moved through the water.
