Week 1

This week we set up our micro aquariums. I used water sample #4 and added both plants 1 and 2.

4. Holston River along John Sevier Hwy under I 40 Bridge

Holston River along John Sevier Hwy under I 40 Bridge Partial shade exposure Holston River water Shed

Plant A . Amblystegium varium (Hedw.) Lindb. Moss.
Plant B. Utricularia vulgaris L. Flowering carnivous plant.

To begin with I did not see much swimming around in the water. I saw a few single celled organisms swimming around inside of a dead insect larva.
I saw a unique plant formation that I was told does not usually appear until later into the process of studying the aquarium.
There were several fast moving singular celled organisms eating on loose plant material.
