Microaquarium Set Up

The microaquarium was set up on Tuesday 10/14. I used sample water #10 and added both plant A and plant B to my aquarium. The first thing I observed under the mircroscope was a red worm crawling around on the bottom of the aquarium (also visible without the microscope). I also observed several circular single celled organisms (green algae?) that look like tiny bubbles moving in circular motions in the middle of the aquarium. I look around the aquarium and found about 5-6 insects that I assumed are the adult water bugs and water mites.
