On Thursday November 4 I went to visit my aquarium for the 4th time. Alot of big changes happended since the last time I was there. Eveything had been reproducing and I think a bit of competition is going on.
The first thing I saw that was drastically different than last time was the number of cyclopses in the aquarium. I saw at least seven adult cyclopses and seven baby cyclopses which I had never seen in there before.
I also saw a dramatic increase in the number of voticelle in the aquarium. I found at least ten where usually I would only see about three of four.
The most shocking thing I saw in my tank this week was the amount of coleps I saw. This was schoking to me because I hadn't noticed any before the tanks were fed and now there are hundreds of them all over the aquarium. I noticed that they like to stick together because where I found one there were always at least ten others with it. I even noticed them attaching to and eating an organism. I really hope that the organism, which looked like a rotifer, was dead before the coleps got to it. The coleps seemed to be very hungry because every time I saw a clump of them they were eating something. I think the coleps have been either eating the rotifers or eating the same thing rotifers eat because there seems to be less of them.
I also found a new little friend in my aquarium; he is a flat worm. He truly is the king of the aquarium because he would run into other organisms and they would all swim away in fear.
I think there is some kind of algae growing in my aquarium becase a large number of green dots have appeared on the aquarium.
I can't wait to go back and see what has changed since then.
