Week Three Observation

I identified this Vorticella. It is a single cell organism, I beleive it is the subspecies sessilina. This was done using The Ciliated Protozoa: Second Edition by John O. Corliss. Information was found on page 144.  I added an additional 16 pellets just to see what would happen in the following weeks. I had to add more water form my sample due to the evaporation. There are many organisms in my aquarium, more so than any other week.
I had a little trouble transfering my videos but those should be added here shortly.
There was also some green, hair-like alga that will be photographed and identified tomorrow. The alga can be seen here.
