Week 1

Set up:
I began by obtaining an empty aquarium and labeling it with the appropriate colored dots (red, green, and green).
I chose to use water #5 and, using a pipete, filled the aquarium 1/3 full with water from the bottom of the sample, 1/3 with water from the middle, and 1/3 with water from the top.
I then placed bits of moss C into the tank.
Observations:
The tank contained a good bit of green Wolfia visible to the naked eye.
Under the microscope, I observed one Copepod Cyclops. It remained stationary but was vibrating a great deal. At one point some brown stuff shot out the back of it.
