Week 5

So the first thing I did this week is asked Dr. McFarland what my "blob" was.  So he looked into it and was in amazingment.  He told me it was a bunch of Gloeotrichia Pisum which is an algae.  So I was right about the algae...yess...lol  But what made Dr. McFarland happy was how clear the pictures of the Pisums were...which I forgot to send to myself...lame.  He told me he rarely sees these algaes this clear and that was cool that I had something awesome in my aquarium.
Well after that I found another sweet algae that looks like an orange cut in half!  That was pretty exciting; found out it was Coleochaete orbicularis, what a name!  But this is now my favorite algae ever. 
Found amoebas.  Awesome how they change shapes to move along like they do.  Reminds me of melting silly putty...lol 
After this I decided to do more research than as to observations.  For instance I found my refrences and citiations for my lab report to come...ugh
But here are some pics of what I thought were super cool.
