Second Post

this should have been a the week before,however that's not the point.


Right so with physical exception before putting it underneath the microscope yielded very little change since I last saw it. The dead beetle resting on the sediment either fully decomposed or was buried under the sediment . Duck weed sprouted out of nowhere the green luster of the moss and algae dimmed to a darker green.


As for sign of any obvious organisms the water had no signs at all. Under the microscope there is, a jungle of floating particles making it very confusing to tell whats what. My water is full of debris which looks like microorganisms floating around. The real microorganisms are tiny and swim spastically  making them hard to capture. I seems I got some protists, amoebas, and some photosynthetic critter but they have yet to be identified. There's probably more species but at the time and microscopes limited zoom limited the ability to determine things


I added three pellets of "Atison's Betta Food" 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%

Which would no doubt enrich the water and promote a mass growth of organisms and algae.
Also I seemed at this stage to have started and an amoeba ranch judging by the amount I passed by and took photos of

Also the over feeding of the water lead to the growth of a water mold
