I'm going to miss these little guys

11/13/08
So today I went in for my final observation. I found a multitude of halteria, diatoms and rotifers. I looked for my nematodes, but found none. They could have been hiding under the loads of snail poop that were covering the bottom of my microaquarium. I looked for my snails and found the same 2 crawling around. there were less vorticella lining the plants and the bottom. there were blossoms of green algae growing on the sides for the organisms to feed on, but in general there wasn't anything new, and less overall life since the feeding. Its sad, I don't want my snails to die. As cute as those little guys are, I'm glad the semester is winding down.
