Second Obseration of MicroAquarium

On October 20 I spent three and a half hours at the lab.. I don't plan on spending that much time today, but it was very interesting and I enjoyed it.
When I first put my microaquarium together I did not see any organisms yet. This time it was crwing with them.. I was really excited. I took some pictures and used photoshop to edit them. Cant believe that took three hours to do and I can sum it up in three sentences.
Smith, 2001 Figure 7.2
 Smith, 2001 Figure 7.31 KBoth of these are rotifers. I identified these with the help of doctor McFarland.
Rotifers are mostly freshwater micro organisms. They average length is about 0.1-0.5 mm long. These here are free swimming rotifers.
