As mentioned in an earlier post regarding the beta food pellets instead on 1 I put in 4 and then 2 more were accidentally put in the by the staff that did watering. Unlike other micro aquariums of my peers which are losing species and numbers mine was doing the opposite due the eutrophication effect the pellets had which not only lead to a boom in numbers and species but also lead the water to become a self-sufficient habitat.
Also it is here where I discover some more organisms popped up.

Mega update part 2
Worm population keeps relatively high but seems to have leveled off finally
This picture contains one of the many Aelosoma which happens to have the now broken egg case in the middle
the Vorticellum have moved to the east side of the tank leaving behind the leaves they tended to be perched on.
Also the majority of the Cyclops are now sexually mature and wander in the tank freely eating and breeding

Observation Mega-Update part 1
In this period of observation the really tiny critters either grew to be more easily seen as well possibly died out. In this period some other species had a population explosion whose photos will be in the next post.
They are: Vorticella, Aelosoma, and the amoebas too but mainly the first two.
Also it is here where I found this mystery egg case pictured last
