Week Three Observations

This week a Atison's Betta Food made by Ocean Nutrition (http://botany1112012.blogspot.com/) was added to the aquarium on Friday October the 26. The addition of the food pellet caused an explosion of smaller organisms. In addition some of the larger organisms have grown large enough to see with the naked eye, for a example a midge larva and one of the Cyclopes. The larger of the Cyclops spent most of its time in the middle and upper layers of the tank. The midge, on the other hand, spent the majority of its time near the bottom layer of tank. As of this week no dead organisms have accumulated near the bottom of the tank .
