November 6, 2008

water evaportated...filled little less than 1/2 tank
- found more organisms where the water was evaporated (mostly rotifers)
rotifers-(3? caterpillar-like (movement and appearance)) (MANY shelled rotifers)
(1) seed shrimp-larger than the other organisms
(1) annelid (aeolosoma)- worm-like (long/thick) glides
flagellates-(many)living cells, jerking motion
vorticella-but did not react when tapping the micro aquarium
