Week 3 post

Under 40x magnification, I saw that the population of plasmodial amoebae (which I identified as Mayorella using "Free-living Freshwater Protozoa:A Color Guide" by Dj Patterson) greatly increased. I witnessed several swimming diatoms, and there was a bounty of nematodes near the soil. The population of rotifers is still growing, especially the amount of Rotaria (identified using the aforementioned book) in the leaves of the aquatic plants. The Copepods that I had seen have multiplied.
