Above are the organisms that I found throughout my microaquarium experience. The final time I went to check on my aquarium there was a large mix of living and dead organisms. Many of the Vorticella sp. had died out and both of my plants had turned brown. I finally found out that the organism in my soil was a Midge larva aswell. It will grow into an insect. The amount of rotifers had not really died down much in my water at this last viewing. I enjoyed seeing the different things that grew and died throughout this experience and it was really interesting.
