During week four of observing my micro aquarium I noticed as is the cast for weeks past as well that the amount of debris and algae in my aquarium has increased. I do not know if this is because of increased waste amounts from the organisms living there or if it is just an ideal set up for algae to grow. The organisms in the tank seemed to be functioning normally, although I had a harder time finding the organisms in the tank than before. Maybe there is a reduced number of organisms in the tank or I just wasn't lucky.
The organism I decided to really focus on this week was the seed shrimp. The seed shrimp is a very strange looking organism as you can see by observing the photo. I watched as the seed shrimp moved through the water and feed on debris. I enjoy observing this organism because it is always feeding and that is very interesting to observe,and it also moves around by contorting its body to propel itself.
