My first observation was an interesting experience and had quite a few surprises in store. I have a growing selection of microorganisms making my MicroAquarium their new home. The majority of these organisms appear to be grouping around small pockets of a yellowish substance that I'm assuming they're using to gain energy. I have yet to spot a noticeable difference in the amount of organisms growing around the the two different species of plant put into our MicroAquariums.
Also, a food pellet was entered into our MicroAquariums. Here are the specifics: "Atison's Betta Food" made by Ocean Nutrition, Aqua Pet Americas, 3528 West 500 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84104. Ingredients: Fish meal, wheat flower, soy meal, krill meal, minerals, vitamins and preservatives. Analysis: Crude Protein 36%; Crude fat 4.5%; Crude Fiber 3.5%; Moisture 8% and Ash 15%.
