On my third observation in viewing my aquarium I found 3 Non-Shell Rotifers (Free-Living Freshwater Protozoa, D.J. Paterson, pg 27). The picture to the left is of a rotifer. You can also see the other one, however it is not in focus. I also found a Seed Shrimp, from the Kingdom: Animal, Phylum: Arthropodu (Arthopods), Class: Crustacea (Crustaceans) and Subclass: Ostracoda (Ostracods) (Guide to Microlife, Kenneth Rainis, Bruce Russell, pg 209). A Seed Shrimp has many hairs located around their body and claw/pinchers coming out of their body that help them move and eat. These are the only two organisms that I found this week.
