1st Observation

During my first observation I had a plethera of life in my microaquarium. Tiny flagellates accounted for much of the biomass at first glance. However, there were eleven other organisms cohabitating with these tiny creatures. Among these eleven were: Flatworms, Coleps, Colpidium, Cyclidium, Euchanis,  Mites, Oscillatoria, Paramecium, Tachysoma, and Vorticella. (Most are pictured below)
