11/10 observation

On November 10th when I observed my microaquarium I noticed three new species in it. The first I noticed was an ameoba. Ameobas move with pseudopods. They have cells with a single large nuclues and a thick dimpled wall. They almost resemble a giant blob that has no set shape or figure. Ameobas move fairly slowly. The second was a Nematoad. Nematoads use a rotifer and eat bacteria. They are oval shaped organisms with rotifers that look like teeth. The last thing I saw was a chilodonella. They consume bacteria, it was in the middle of division. I also took a few pictures of my microaquarium that I will post.
