Term Project Week 4

This week I have made some new discoveries. Even though the main organism of my aquarium is the astrocod, I found a new organism that I had not noticed before, the Copepod. At first, it seemed like a stationary organism but every so often it moves a couple of inches and stops again. Throughout my observations, most of my organisms prefer the mossy part of the aquarium. Also, for the first time I noticed little hairs on the backs of the Astrocod by using a deeper microscope. I also observed twice as many astrocod as the last time and they are small. They seem to be bunched together on one stem of the seeweed plant. I also observed a nematode who seems to be stuck in the mossy part of the aquarium.
