I love amoebas.  They are fascinating  to me in so many ways.

I have some jars full of rocks and moss soaking in water.  It's been about 7 or 8 months.  I add tap water occasionally because the tap water provides extra minerals.  The water has become so nasty over all these months.  The amount of life in just a drop of this scummy water is amazing.  I've noticed a large increase in amoebas and rotifers.  The paramecium have become huge and you can see some of them swimming about with the unaided eye.
