In my fourth and last observation of my MicroAquarium took place on November 13. I retrieved my MicroAquarium from the bin labeled my lab section and proceeded to place it under a microscope. In this observation I saw many organisms that I have been observing in previous blog entries. The organisms I looked at were Tachysoma, and more Euplotes. They look like they have multiplied and gotten bigger. Everything else in the MicroAquarium looked similar to what I observed before.
I observed a new organism in this observation and that organism is Vorticella. This organism has a long flagella, which is very distinct.
