Final Micro Aquarium Observation

The water in the aquarium seems to be decreasing at a faster rate. There are now four large Dero vagus and very dew small ones. There was one small dead near the bottom of the tank. There are still several diatoms clustered around the bottom of the tank. There are more Lacrymaria around the plants and in open space than before. There are less Coleps. The small sead-like particles found on the Utricularia gibba have turned from blacks to clears and blues. Some have also been inhabited by different small organisms. Also, the Amblestegium varium has a fuzzy red substance growing along it.
