Observations: Decay noticed among the moss and algae. New translucent, worm-like organism noticed. Dragged material behind it with a fiber too small to see even with the microscope.
Questions/comments: How will the moss/algae decay affect the organisms? What was the worm-like organism dragging material with?

Micro Aquarium Setup
The term project is in full swing and here is my first post:
Water Source: Water from the bottom, middle, and top water levels of a pot containing a red mangrove plant. Also moss collected from the red mangrove stems was added
Observations: Many shrimp eggs and two kinds of single celled organisms. One kind of single celled organism observed moved in a crawling motion, while the other seemed to jet along the container using a barrel-roll type motion.
Questions/comments: How long can these organisms survive in this tiny container? And what affect will the moss bring about inside the aquarium?
