The new discovery this week was this algae which was not present last week and was visible in many different parts of the aquarium. This picture is of a Coleochaete Irregularis, a type of colonial algae. This was determined from the "Handbook of Algae" by Herman Silva Forest, The University of Tennessee Press, Knoxville 1954. This particular information is from page 89, figure 86. I also happened to get a cyclops in the juvenile stage in the same picture.
This picture is a cyclops in the juvenile stage, last weeks post had a pic of a female cyclops with egg filled sacs on the sides. This could be a product of one of those eggs but I cannot be certain. It is still very neat to see them in their different stages I think.
