Day 3

Food Added:
     A Betta food Pellet was added on Friday the twenty second. Information about the food pellet follows, "Atison's Betta Food" made by Ocean Nutrition, Aqua Pet Americas, 3528 West 500 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84104. Ingredients: Fish meal, wheat flower, soy meal, krill meal, minerals, vitamins and preservatives. Analysis: Crude Protein 36%; Crude fat 4.5%; Crude Fiber 3.5%; Moisture 8% and Ash 15%.

Observations:
      Third day of observations were made on the 27th of October. One of the first thing I noticed was that there was a lot more organism then there was before the food pellet was added. The next thing I noticed was a really cool looking organism that looked a lot like a worm. I found out that this organism is called an Acolosoma Annelid. This organism is usually under 25mm long and has internal fat droplets that are different colors like red or green. They are usually found in mud and debris in ponds (Rainis pg.229). This organism looks like it has little hairs all over its body. It is also a lot bigger then the other organisms that i have see so far. After that I mostly saw alot of the same organism that I saw last week like Lecane Rotifera.
