Week #3/ Week #1

When I went to see my micro-aquarium this week, I noticed the plants were dry, and that was when I realized that my creation was destroyed. The giant crack in the middle of the micro-aquarium should have given me a hint, but unfortunately it did not. Due to the failure, I had to make a new micro-aquarium and start all over again from week 1. Therefore, the first beta pellet will not be added until some other time.

My new micro-aquarium water source is from the water tank outside of the greenhouse at Hesler Biology Building. The University of Tennessee. Knox Co. Knoxville TN.

This aquarium had a greater amount of movement. There was movement every where, and it was hard to keep up with the small organisms. Some had tails, some pooped, some were spherical, some were rod-shaped, and some were flower-shaped(these rapidly opened and closed with the blink of an eye). Most lived around the dark dirt bottom areas, but there were also many among the middle where the plants were. The ones with tails were mostly seen throughout the entire aquarium.
