Very nice ! I love that the other rotifers are hanging around, probably waiting for the cigars to be passed out

Re: Compilation Video
Nice micro, thanks ! I love these compilation videos. I have not watched the entire vid yet, but certainly plan to. I have a couple of compilation vids that I will post also one of these days. These compilations really give a chance to see what kinds of organisms occur in other's samples. So far, I ...

Re: Dileptid Hunting and Eating
Bruce, I am wondering how the amoeba population is linked to the population of other protists ? Every sample I take from my pond aquarium now has hundreds of yellow diatoms of all sizes as well as dozens (if not hundreds) of naked and testate amoebas, many of which have ingested diatoms. Oddly, with...

Re: Dileptid Hunting and Eating
Nice, very nice ! Observing and filming a dileptid is high on my list. Of the many hundreds of samples I have examined I have yet to see one. I found a bunch of them living in my jar of pond water and figured I'd have plenty more to observe later but now I haven't been able to find any and I'm thin...

Re: Diversity in one sample from aquarium
Thanks everyone for your comments !
Daruosha asked if I used any additional lighting and the answer is no, just the indirect lighting from an adjacent window that has leaky blinds !

Re: Diversity in one sample from aquarium
OK-- Here it is. I warned you it would be underwhelming :D It is in my garage and has one 24/7 air hose and one heater set to 63 F. I top off the water with pond water when possible or spring water from Whole Foods when not. I feed it several kernels of boiled corn every couple of weeks. The algae a...

Diversity in one sample from aquarium
I've had my pond aquarium for 7 months now and have not "charged " it up with real pond water in many months. I put together this video from just one sample from the bottom of my aquarium form last week. I'm really amazed at the diversity that exists in just a few drops of water in the bottom of a P...
