week 5 Final Observations on mico aquarium

            During the final week of observations the first thing that was visibly noticeable before i even put it under the microscope was the water level. I filled it up at the end of every observation and this time the water level dropped around 25%. This could be due to the water source of the mead quarry. The movement around the moss has continued to increase with Euchlanis. The main movement originally was in and around the mud although this week the movement in the mud has decreased. The moss and mud have been slowly been disappearing throughout the whole experiment and have been the two main sources of food minus the week the food pellet was placed into the aquarium. The other grassy like plant has still remain untouched and unharmed. Organisms are starting to die off and being fed on by other organisms. The main ones i noticed getting fed on were Euchlanis feeding on dead seed shrimp.
