During this observation, things seemed largely unchanged after last weeks observation. Although I think this is due to the Beta Food Pellet already taking its toll, there was sure to be some growth over the week. During this weeks observation I observed what was know as diatom. This organism did not move at all, but its insides seemed to move around quite a bit. The one I observed was pen-like. According to Microscopy UK, these are the more common diatoms found in freshwater. (Microscopy UK 1995).
