On the November 14, i found another new organism called a Seed Shrimp. It was encased within two opague shells, and had a watchlike inner workings. This was the first time that I had seen this organism. Overall, it seems to me that there has been no increase in the amount of dead organisms.

November 12 aquarium viewing
On November 12, i viewed my micro-aquarium. I found a new organism that i discovered to be a Plenarium. As i noticed in the previous viewing, i noticed even fewer organisms. It seems to me that as time progresses there are more organisms dying.
