Week Four
The last observation was most successful. My microscope skills are becoming better. My hand is not as temperamental with the focus as it used to. I took several photographs of main remaining aquarium. The aquarium's water level was half full. There where many died organisms at the bottom :(. Above is an image of two Glococystis Naegeli. Its a spherical cell body with a gelatinous matrix (Handbook of Algae).

Week Two
My water is slowly disappearing :(. Several of the organisms that I took note of last week I notice were inactively moving at the bottom of my aquarium. Many rotifers and daphinas were found died. The movement of organisms this week was minimal compared to last. The aquarium is filled with smaller micro life. I counted three paramecium. Fluid in form the paramecium moved at a similar slow pace. One navigated with a notifiable head then reversed the navigation with what was recognized as the tail. I saw several epistylis attached to the amblystegium varium. I tried to relocate my actinasphaerium, nut I was not successful in finding it. The one organism that was new but was unable to identify almost looks like a cladoceran.
