AnthropoceneMan<p>Positive ID on most prolific micro-critters in the experimental <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/aquarium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aquarium</span></a> in my basement next to the floor drain.</p><p>Beast is a freshwater bristle worm that reproduces by “budding”…basically breaking in two. ID photo from ProjectNoah.Org website…</p><p>A few other beasts have been spotted, but not captured in 40x spotting scope.</p><p>Drug out the 1970s student’s microscope bought new at a hobby store that was going out of business…a Tasco with a very nice stage/focus mechanism and probably better lenses than you can get in amateur scopes today. Had tried to donate it to a toy museum or other place as a hermetically sealed time capsule…but couldn’t find a home…so putting it to at least a bit of use now.</p><p>Found many tiny seemingly single cell <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/flagellates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flagellates</span></a> zipping around the slide…along with closeup/positive ID of the bristle worm.</p><p>Possibly some freshwater diatoms or very rectilinear algae without color?</p><p>Need help with ID’s…if you have the knowledge.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GeoDoBio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GeoDoBio</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biology</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Greenwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Greenwater</span></a></p>
AnthropoceneMan<p>Stagnant “greenwater” tank is beginning to grow some microorganisms for future fish fry feeding….but way too slow because the floating plants are actually keeping algae at bay…out competing the algae the critters need to reproduce more quickly.</p><p>Seen in past 24 hours a “fast worm”, a couple of single flagella beasts too quick and small to really see at 40x…some fairly fast moving tiny planaria? and a slow “bristled worm” that seems to be attracting whatever solid matter is in the droplet and trying to escape it constantly.</p><p>Yeah…this is what happens when <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/geologists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geologists</span></a> attempt to biologize.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Aquarium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aquarium</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GeoDoBio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GeoDoBio</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BasicScienceFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BasicScienceFail</span></a></p>
