eukaryotic organisms,such as amoebas,ciliates,flagellatos,and sporaloans.I keep tropical fish you see,and I had a dissaster due to protazoa. If you want a microscopic thing of beauty,try staining a diatom,and viewing it on a slide through a microscope,a microscopic one celled or colonial algae of the class Bacillariophyceae,having walls of silica,with two interlocking symetrical valves. A true thing of beauty,in abundance,I am sure you could get it projected on to a poster. Good lick with the hand

| Agggghhhh! diatoms! My bugs eat them buggers for breakfast. Literally. Foraminifera are my game Ernest, and I'm glad to say the only time they have anything to do with fish is when they get etten. Pretty little things though. Try this:- http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/earthguid...nauniversa.jpg or this:- http://cushforams.niu.edu/slide46.gif |

| You are right - white spot is a protozoan, but a very different type to forams. Foraminifera are a very specific (and very useful!) group of organisms. They have a variety of lifestyles, but these include grazing, burrowing, filterfeeding, symbiosis with diatoms and piracy of diatom chloroplasts. There are none that life on fish, or anything else that aren't completely stationary! I can assure you that the likes of Orbulina universa and Cassidulina laevigata are no more a threat to your fish than your average snail or clam! |
