The Set-Up

First week:
This week, we set up our aquarium with different areas' water. I chose the French Broad River water along with utricularia gibba. moss, fontinalis sp. moss, and amblestegium varium. moss (McFarland, 2013).  From the bucket filled with French Broad River water, I obtained a small amount of soil and the rest water (McFarland, 2013); then, I added the three mosses into the microaquarium.  I noticed a very small amount of activity within the water.  As I searched through the water, I noticed movement in the soil that looked like a small worm-like creature, but I couldn't get a great look because it would dive into the soil every time the light passed over it.
