I observed my MicroAquarium on October 30, 2012 there was thousands of organisms swimming around eating morsels of the plant material. After closely examining on of the organisms I could see flagella on both ends of the organism which lead me to confirm that this organism is a Tachysoma sp. they use them to swim around in the water and if you look very closely in the upper mid left section of the organism there is a circular organelle. This is a vacuole and it is expanded and contracted to burst out material that helps it move at a rapid pace (Patterson).
