Set up and initial observations
When setting up my Micro Aquarium, I used water from source #13, which was the bird bath water. I made sure to include a good amount of sediment. I added plant B. There were copious amounts of one cell organisms, some were dark colored and constantly spun around, perhaps their mechanism for movement. These organisms were concentrated highly around the plant and in the sediment at the bottom of the aquarium. There were also some bigger organisms, though they still appeared unicellular. One was very blob like and reminded me of an amoeba. The aquarium already is teeming with life, and I am excited to observe it closer with the 40x objective, as well as witness the transformation over the next few weeks
