10/13/2009: Upon initial examination of the micro-aquarium under a microscope, I wasn't entirely sure what to find. Due to the small width of these, they can be turned and laid down flat without spilling any liquid. Under the 4x lens, there wasn't much to be seen: dirt on the bottom, a couple of plants stems. Then, moving along to the 10x lens there was much more than the naked eye can see. The were multiple sacks filled with little green chloroplast-looking objects, I saw more than half a dozen tiny worm-like creatures (which seemed to over-all outnumber the rest), flipping and twisting their bodies back and forth to propel themselves. There was a very fast moving mouse-like creature with two horn-esque things towards its front, and a thick flagella propelling it through the water. There were also much slower, smaller, kidney bean-shaped, organisms that had a tendency to hide near the dirt at the bottom of the container.
