New Info:
I found many new organisms that weren't present on my last observation. I also noticed that many rotifers were congregating on the very edges of the aquarium. Possibly because the migrate towards where food is the most plentiful? Here are some pictures of new organisms.
Phylum: Ciliophora
Vorticella Monilatum
This little guy can be found attached to plants. I used the book Microscopic Fresh Water Life by Plaskit to identify.
This is a nymph of a cyclops. He was found scavenging around down towards the bottom of the aquarium close to the soil.
This is the adult version of the cyclops.
