Beauty and excitement in the microscopic world are often found in the least attractive places. I decided to consolidate my two fresh water stagnant pools and added the smaller one into the larger one. After I poured the contents of the smaller pool, there was stuff left in the corners of the small tank--those became my sample for this. It was full of bacteria evidently feeding on the bits of disintegrated leaf and plant matter that flowed through the final drips of water. There was a colony of protozoans as well.
