So my aquarium little by little is becoming more diverse and active. I saw a new species which was really beautiful, a diatom. They are made of silica, which is glass so that explains why it looks so pretty.

There was also another little guy swimming around the diatom which was an
Anisonema sp. It was a bit hard to identify, and I'm still not sure if it is right, but it is the closest thing we could find.

I hope that the food pellet we add next week will help the organisms in the aquarium thrive.
