This week was the last week observing the mircoaquarium. I observed the tank on November 13, 2014. Unlike last week, I there was a significant amount of activity this week. I saw many Ostracod sp. seed shrimp, again this week and I noticed them to be larger than ever ( Patterson 68). I noticed they moved quickly away from the light. I saw the majority of them toward the bottom of the tank where the dirt was. I saw one Cyclops sp. I noticed that the mircoorganism was bigger than the one I observed last week. I saw a Coleochaete solute, a type of green algae (Prescott 1978). It was the first time I saw this green algae.
