Observation Week 5

In observing my aquarium this week I once again noticed that my water level had decreased dramatically. My plants had seemed to be dying and I believe its possible that they may have already been dead. Under the microscope I spotted Euchlanis sp. Cyclopoid sp. Litonotus sp. and Cyclidium sp. I also observed a saw a few other new organisms however I did not identify them.

The following are pictures I identified from my microaquarium:
