Setting up my MicroAquarium(TM)


  • For the water source in my MicroAquarium, I used a sample from Third Creek in Tyson Park.

The specific sample was from a partially shaded area.

Specific Data for Water Source: "Third Creek at Tyson Park. Knox Co. Knoxville TN Partial shade exposure. N30 57 13.53 W83 56 32.37 824 ft. 10/14/2013"(McFarland, 2013).


  • I also added three different aquatic plants . . .

  • I observed a worm twitching, a hydra with its flagellum working clearly motile, a coiled insect larvae feeding on cells, and tiny round green microbes that were moving around very swiftly.
