Second post

This week, I went straight to the microscope, and began observing the aquarium for noticeable changes. Another food pellet was placed in the tank.  The first organism I saw was a rotifer philodina, which was anchoring itself to the wall of the tank.  I noticed a few more of these.  There were also a few paranemae, single-celled protists with a long flagellae used for movement.  It might be worth noting that I lost some water while viewing the aquarium, too, but it was replaced. Also, I misspelled the caption on the peranema photo.
