Week 1

Halteria
Saw allot of these things darting around in the water. They were small and had a clear inside. They were swimming all around the plant material. "Guide to Microlife"

Cyclops
Just saw two of these organisms. They had very spastic movements. They would be sitting still then all the sudden they would dart off. I spotted these at the bottom of the aquarium near the muck. "Guide to Microlife"

Monostyla
This organism is an example of a shelled rotofer. It was almost transparent. Seemed to be moving around feeding on deposits of plant material. Its body would seem to swell up after it had eaten a little bit. Saw several of these organisms. "Guide to Microlife"

Philodina
This is an example of a non shelled rotofer. Seems to move around by constricting then un constricting. Its movement resembled that of an inch worm. "Guide to Microlife"

Spirogyra
This is an algae with a coiled up organism in it.

Epistlis
This organism reminds me of a daisy flower or something of that nature. The stalk of this organism is non-retractable. "Free-Living Freshwater Protozoa: A Colour Guide"
