observed serval new critter in the water this week. Their is one or more cyclops Copepod moveing around but unable to find the true Genus and Speacies name as their are so many. Found a long transparent worm with red and orange pigments around the posterier and anteroir ends, possable analid. Lots of Rotiferas where seen along with their way of movement. Was able to find for a brief few seconds a Gastrotrichs need to look for it and try to get the full name. Lastly observed three of the same unknown organism a large mobile possable protist with what looked like a large amount of chloreaplasts. unable to see how it was moveing but it was rather slow and may be useing cilia. I will have to get back to yall on more.
