FIRST POST

So last week we obtained micro aquariums and had a list of 11 of the finest waters pulled forth from various sources for our picking. Torn between the vibrant fecal matter infused duck pond water of Fountain City and the insect filled waterof the Tommy Schumpert Pond, Seven Islands Wildlife Refugewater I gave way to the frog pond if only to see if I can stuff that water beetle in between the two glass sheets.

Instructions were as followed: Take water from the bottom and collect the silt and detritus, some from the middle, and finally a top layer. I wasted a bunch of time trying to get that damn beetle in the tank only for the water tension caused by the narrowness to make it stuck and possibly drowning the poor thing. The finishing touches were to put some algae and moss strands. And all that is left is to wait until the next examination.

Not much noticeable life everything looked the same
