The second week of the microcosm experiment, the population of Paramecium bursaria in seemed to explode. They were in every area of the MicroAquarium(TM). I observed several dividing near each other. It was interesting that I did not see any Paramecium aurelia at all. I also did not see any stentors or pandorina. There were still nematodes, euplotes, and one seed shrimp that I noticed. There were also very few diatoms.
Around the Wolffia and Moss B, there were significantly more air bubbles. I checked every Wolffia trap, but did not notice any organisms trapped inside. There was also much more cyanobacteria.
After making my observations, Dr. Kenneth McFarland helped me take some pictures of the organisms in my MicroAquarium(TM).

Nice job Amanda, I like how you've put in web links for the organisms in your microcosm!
Thanks! I'm hoping it will be helpful.
