Week 5 Observation

This is my final week of observations for my MicroAquarium.  The first thing I noticed was the lack of activity from the organisms in my MicroAquarium.  It seemed like there were fewers Rotifers present, and the ones that I did observe, seemed to be slowed down from their usual tempo.  I observed several Paramecium bursaria, which did not seem to be different in their activities from the weeks before.  A hypothesis I would have for the change in organism diversity and activity would be as time has continued to pass, the conditions and food availability are no longer suitable for certain organisms to live.  I would also expect to see further declining diversity as time continued to pass.  To stabilize and possible restore organism diversity, food, new vegitation, and possibly new water would need to be added.  It appears that the conditions in my MicroAquarium have become almost too poor for life to thrive.
