week 5

Once again, it seems that the snail activity is the only thing that shows any promise. Everything else seems to be dead or dying off. I did notice something new however and Dr. McFarland helped me to identify it as a paramecium bulsaria. There are still a few rotifers swimming around here and there, but other than that nothing else seems to be living. All specimens were identified throughout this project using Bio Cam Communications, Box 8110-12. Blaine, WA 98230 USA. Copyright 1998 by Gordon Preacher.

week 4

Sorry i missed last week's post, i checked in again on Tuesday, November the second and found that the cyclops crustacea and disappeared and also that the snail population had grown again in numbers. With the snails, i noticed that on one of them, there was a spiral pattern on its back and found this to be quite interesting. There is only one snail with this pattern on it's back that i have found so this could prove that maybe there is more than one species of water snail in the aquarium.
