Week 3 of Big Poppie's Micro Aquarium

    Week 3 was very exciting.

   The changes I have noticed since I last observed my micro aquarium is an explosion of organisms. Ken put some food in the aquarium and I could tell the difference.
   The numbers of organisms have increased a lot from the last observation.

   Have not seen any dead organisms yet. I will look harder for some dead stuff next week.
