During week two of my Aquarium project I saw a lot more organisms in my aquarium. I saw three Euglena, one Oscillatoria, numerous Bodo, , three Spro Gyra, and two Vorticella (Rainis and Russell 1996). All the organisms identified were at the bottom of the aquarium. Euglena, Oscillatoria, Bodo, , Spro Gyra, and Vorticella are all single celled organisms. Spyrogyra is multicellular. Oscillatoria is a blue green color, but is photosynthetic. The Euglena, Bodo, , Spro Gyra, and ,Vorticella were all chlorophyll green.Most of the organism were stationary, but the Bodohad a sideways movement. Numerous organisms have appeared since the initial set up of the tank. At the beginnig there were very few organism, and now there are a lot more. I was unable to see any dead organisms at the bottom of the tank.
