Week 3

There was a great improvement from last week in both the moving and stationary organisms. The stationary organisms where all over the place in the container but the moving organisms where only found mostly next to objects or by the sides or the top or bottom. Their where many more non green organisms but are only a few Chlorophyll green organisms. Most are clear and you can easily see through them. I saw fifteen rotifers on the green substances and on the sides. Also there were two shelled rotifers that did not move their bodies only their mouths. I have also have two Turbellaria  in the bottom of the tank at the corner, they only move the bottom half of their bodies and its a snake like movement. Nemotodes were also in the bottom and had a snake like movement as they move around. There were many pseudopodia at the bottom and toward the top, they are circle shaped objects that are stationary. An example of these is picture number 4 on the ones listed. Example number 3 is a protoza their are many Protoza in my container.  An example of Rotifiers is example number 2, and an example of Nemotodes is picture number 1.
