Week 3: Obversation

On Friday, October 22, 2010, a"Atison's Betta Food" pellet made by Ocean Nutrition, Aqua Pet Americas, 3528 West 500 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84104. Ingredients: Fish meal, wheat flower, soy meal, krill meal, minerals, vitamins and preservatives. Analysis: Crude Protein 36%; Crude fat 4.5%; Crude Fiber 3.5%; Moisture 8% and Ash 15% was placed in each Micro Aquarium (http://botany1112010.blogspot.com).
While looking through the 10x objective microscope, I saw 4 Cyclops gathered by the Fontinalis plant, a underwater moss.  The Cyclops were inactive at the time.  I then saw a Stylaria.  The Stylaria is a worm from the class of Oligochaeta.  The worm was transparent and I was able to see his eyespot and it long proboscis from his head.
