INITIAL OBSERVATIONS
1. I saw two Rodifers swimming in my microaquarium. I was able to identify these organisms with the help of Dr. McFarland. These organisms looked like a crown. They use flagella to push water through its body; and it appears to be spinning when it moves. There is a single red dot which acts like an eye that detects light.
