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?
