This week I observed another ciliate. The cilitates scientific name is Litonotus sp. (
Patterson DJ. 1992.) The ciliate was slowly moving or gliding around the microaquarium. It stayed mainly around the moss plant. I believe it to be a single celled organism. However, it looks to be complex. It is very translucent so as you can see it has large circlular insides. It has cillia on the bottom side; however, it could be all around the body. I did not see any dead ones and I only saw one of the organisms.
