October 29th

Turning on the microscope i immediately see two Promesium who appear to be eating some of the plant matter. There are many more Promesium and small round creatures than last time and it appears that some of the creatures only go to a certain depth. for instance the Promesium seem to be dwelling around the plant matter while the one Lepidodermella that i saw was residing at the bottom of the plant matter closer to the dirt. The small round creatures were all throughout the micro aquarium. They make up most of my mini aquarium's population, but i couldnt identify them in the book that i was using: Guide to MicroLife. There were allot of bubbles visible to the eye which i attribute to the plants doing photosynthesis. The organisms living in the dirt have died.
