In this assignment, you will observe the progress of a 5 gallon aquarium that utilizes no filtering or CO2. Instead it tries to reproduce what would happen in a natural pond. You DO NOT have to do a tank yourself (but if you like fish and feel inspired this is a great video series to watch). You will watch the progress videos form the assigned video series, and contribute to the assignment journal, considering the questions posed for each video.
Watch the videos corresponding to 6 and 7th months. What is happening to the population? How does this relate to what you observed in the plant population during earlier months? What effect do you think the increase in population may have on the aquarium if it is not managed?
