On Friday October 22, Dr. McFarland placed one Beta Food Pellet into the aquarium.
"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%.
Today a round worm was discovered in the aquarium. It was identified by Dr. McFarland as a nematode. A new life form was also discovered today that looked like a small green sponge. This was identified as a paramesia because of its spiral movement. The flat worm was identified as a ballaria.
The rotafers that have been seen in the weeks before are appearing larger, and there are more and more of them every week. This week it was noticed that some of the rotafers had lost all life and were just floating in the water. I have also noticed that most of the life in the aquarium is also on plant B. Plant A's life is very quiet.
