"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% was added on Friday October 25, 2013 (McFarland, 2013).
Observations:
Numerous Colpidium (Corliss, 1979) were observed feeding on the food pellet.
They are found in organically rich sites, hence the food pellet (Corliss, 1979).
- I also observed Protozoa poking at around microbe with many nuclei. Occasionally, the harassed organism would jump away with one or two quick jerks. These were residing in the upper portion of the aquarium
- Paramecium (p. 260) were observed at various levels in the aquarium with sparse population (Corliss, 1979).
- I also observed Actinopod (p.81) and a Hydrazoan (pg.169) in the center region of the aquarium (Rainis & Russell, 1996).
