Week 3 Life in the Dark

Week 3: Life in the Dark

Our plants have grown exponentially. The shoots have now hit the top of the bottle, into the ridges of the bottle. Our bean plants, all three of them, have grown leaves. Each plant has one leaf, which are very green. One of the bean shells is plastered on the top of the bottle while the other rests at the bottle. The third plant still has its shell attached, but very loosely. The soil looks moist. The coloring is a dark brown.

There’s still quite a bit of condensation at this top level.

In the bottom bottle the water level looks the same with the strings attaching the top bottle to the bottom bottle looking more yellowish. Our guppy is still alive and swims at the middle of the water level. However he looks less active than before. I feel his swimming is more forlorn. Guppy also looks about the same size; it doesn’t look like he’s gotten bigger.

On one side our snail is nestled in one of the ridges of the bottom bottle. It doesn’t seem like he’s moving, but I believe he’s still alive. On the other side we have the second snail nestled into one of the ridges of the bottle. Again this one isn’t moving. Right now it’s a toss up on whether they are actually alive. We did not see the tails of our dead shrimp, so we believe that the snails finished eating them.

The weight of out terrarium is 1 kg 461 grams.
