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.

Setting up aquarium/ 1st obsevation

In botany lab we set up our microaqauriums. The classification/ identifcation color ocded dots I used are dark blue, yellow and red.
Out of the water samples for the aquarium I chose number 6 which is from Spring Creek off Woodson Dr running through Dean's Woods Road frontage., Knox Co. Tennessee. It offers partial shade exposure.  I used the Fissidens fontanus moss found in the stream and the Utricularia gibba L. A flowering plant from Spain Lake and was grown in the Hesler water tanks.
IN my first observation I didn't see any organism yet!

Hey everyone,
It's 11: 44 and I am up doing homework and studing for the botany quiz for lab tomorrow.
