Term Project: Blog

In the top layer of the aquarium organisms appeared to swim and feed on nutrients form the water. Many tadpole shrimp were free floating in the water and appearing to extend and contract, maybe some way of feeding.
Cilliates such as Parimecium were also swimming through the water. I couldn't tell if they were feeding or not.

In the bottom layer of the aquarium there were tiny wormlike organisms feeding on the plant life. More tadpole shrimp swimming and feeding off of the plants also. there were Dinoflagellates swimming around and feeding off of the bottom. I did not see any organisms feeding on other visible organisms.
