I had to observe an extra week because I missed a week of observation. Most of the organisms I saw early in the observations where just dead organisms now how ever I saw two alive organism. They happened to be the same species; however, they look different. The scientific name is Cyclidium sp.
(Patterson DJ. 1992.) They are single celled organisms with cilia on one end. The have alarge vacuole that contracts regularly. It also has a big eye near the vacuole. it looked as though it used the cila to move around. It was not the fastest organism I saw; however, it was fast enough that it was difficult to get the pictures. I only saw these two swimming in the microaquarium.
