Micro aquarium observations for 20-24 Oct

Water used: Fountain City Duck Pond
Observations for 20-24 Oct

After observing my micro aquarium a week after it was set up, there was a huge difference with the quantity and volume of both large and small organisms.  The larger, multi cell organisms are more active and move outside of the soil more often.  The most dominant were a collection of approximately 10 long, skinny organisms that, for the most part, move more quickly and radically with out a sense of direction.  They stayed near the bottom, but not necessarily staying in the soil.  There were a few very large organisms that were particular to staying in the soil.  They moved slowly and appeared to be digging or feeding.  I saw one large, clear, multi cell organism with 4 "legs".  It stayed still, with the exception of lighting fast movements every now and then.  All of the larger organisms still stayed in the bottom of the tank, and the small single cell organisms were still found moving in a slow, lazy fashion in all areas of the aquarium.
