1)Majority of organisms are mobile
2)Very fast, straight line, others slow shaking in a zig zag fashion
3)Mostly multicellular organisms
4)Majority are non green
5)seed shrimp occupy middle and bottom portions
   cyclops occupy upper middle and top areas
    rotifers moved around alot but seemed  to prefer the top portion of the aquarium.
6There have been many cyclops, seed shrimps, and rotifers seen. Since the food pellet was added there have been more seed shrimps observed than any other organisms.

1) very few mobile organisms
2)Very fast and in a straight line
3)More multi celled
4)equal amount
5)Stationary organisms at the top(chlorophyll), moving, occupy middle/bottom areas of the aquarium.
6)very few rotifers,and seed shrimps
