Final Observation

During my last observation, I did not find any new organisms in my microaquarium. The annelids and cyclops(juvenile and adult) were significantly larger. And number-wise the amount of bacteria, specifically cyanobacteria, has increased tremendously as well as some of the green algae. The only odd thing I found this time was the grouping of Paramecium along the right wall of my aquarium. There were probably between 30-40 of them over on that side. As to be expected my plant was even more decayed, leaving it brown in color.
