Water Source and Plant Sample Information

The water I used for my MicroAquarium came from Tommy Schumpert Pond in Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge in Knoxville, Tennessee

Plant A:
Amblystegium varium. Moss. Collection from: Natural spring. Fountain City Park.

Plant B:
Utricularia vulgaris L. Flowering Plant. A carnivous plant. Collection from: Greenhouse in White Ave Biology Annex. The University of Tennessee.

Week 3 Observations



The tank looks completely different this week. I think these differences are due primarily to the food pellet added to the Micro Aquarium. The organisms are much more active and seem to have multiplied since last week. There is more life throughout the aquarium. I have also noticed many new organisims.

Week 2 Observations

The organisms have continued to show movement. The soil at the bottom of the MicroAquarium has begun to show that it is housing more organisms.
