Microquarium week 3

I am in the lab section 1, table 1, seat 1.  My color code is Dark Blue, Red, Red.  This week, my microquarium had evaporated water a little faster than normal, and had a lot less water in it than last week.  During my examination of the microquarium, I found that the carnivorous plant had died.  However, I found two new organisms, and was able to confirm an organizm.  They were: Arcella, Gasterous Chaetonus, and a Rotifer.



I also noticed that several organisms had died during the week.  I also noticed that the Vorticella I found last week can move from spot to spot, reattaching themselves every time.
