My MicroAquarium has been assembled for 9 days now. I had a chance to observe my aquarium under a microscope to see what was going on. I was very surprised to find how many organisms were alive and thriving. I saw organisms of various size and shape. I saw organisms swimming, eating, and hiding in the foliage. Some examples of organisms I observed were Euchlanis (Rotifer), Philodina (Rotifer), and different Cyanobacteria. It was interesting to see these organisms living together and moving around each other. I did not notice any of the organisms competing or fighting for food, but maybe if there is a food shortage that might be a possibility. I will check back on my MicroAquarium next week and see how the organisms are surviving and if any of them are actually growing.
