On November 14, 2012 towards the bottom of my Micro Aquarium
there were multiple strands of cyanobacteria,
Actinosphaerium sp., and diatoms. The
Actinosphaerium sp. is shown to the left that shows the
them in the division process (Patterson). The diatoms appear to be a
yellow-brown color and are shaped in the form of gold bars attached to each
other and some are just a single bar. At approximately 100x magnification there
are 30 clusters per 50 square micrometers (Rainis and Russell) In addition, the midge that was
observed during my first week of observations had grown nearly double in size
and has acquired hairs on the tail sections of the body. The midge lives in the depths of
the soil layer by convulsing its body to bury it self.
