Entry #3

During my third observation of the aquarium there appeared to be much more movement I believe this is due to the single beta food pellet added on October 22 (: "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%.). I was able to relocate the three organisms I’ve already identified in my previous observations. The organisms, however, were moving much more rapidly although the water level had declined. I decided to add more water from the water bottle on the sink as instructed by Professor McFarland. I’m anxious to see if the newly added water has an effect on the life already present.  Due to the fast pace of the organisms this week I was unable to capture any photographs I felt were worth keeping. During next week’s observation I hope that I am able to photograph the organisms I have just recently noticed so I am able to identify them.
