Lacrymaria
(Free Living Freshwater Protozoa, Patterson D.J., 1996, Figure 301, Page 138.)
Today during my fourth observation my first since adding new water the movement spurred in the tank by the food pellet had ceased. There was much much less movement. I was able to discover a few new organisms during this observation and was able to take one excellent photograph of a Lacrymaria in which you can see the hairs on its flagella. My water level continues to decline and I refilled it again today for the second time. I hope to see my aquarium once again bustling with life next week.
