Final Post

General: I made my observations on Friday 11/13/09. I was disappointed to find that the amount of life is on the downswing. This will be my final post I hope you have enjoyed following the progress of my micro-aquarium as much as I have had reporting on it.

Obeservations: I counted 10 dead Ameobas, and only one live one. The paramecium seemed to be doing okay but pretty much all the other protists seemed to be dead. The cyanobacteria are doing okay but didn't grow significantly. Some of the other photosynthetic oragnisms did okay. Nothing else to report. As I write this the Buie Micro Aquarium has probably been washed down the sink. Goodbye Dancing Nematodes!

Buie out.

Life Explosion

General: I made my observations last Friday but am just posting them now. I apologize to all my fans out there who were waiting on word of the nematodes. Well the word is I couldn't find them but the amoebas are ruling the day now and you will see some exciting footage attached below.


Observations: There was a genral explosion of life in the aquarium from the Algae to the Protists. I am not sure where my nematodes went but the amoebas were very cool. My water level down to about half, which was direct indication of dry conditions we had outside last week. I caught a great image of an actinospherium from the Phylum Sarcodinum, see above. The suprise visitor in my amoeba film is a ciliate. Check it out.


Next Week: Well next week is here so tomorrow I will make what I believe to be my final observations and should get them posted tomorrow.
