Principle
Life in the aquarium is more variegated than one may
perceive at first glance. You can not only see how fish feed but
also observe the movements of gill covers and how water flows
through a fish's body. Besides you can observe mating behavior and
territorial fights among the fishes. But did you ever see that
fishes eat something from the glas pane which is
invisible to the human eye? Small organisms settle on the glas
pane and on water plants as well. With a little trick you can
get some of them under your microscope.
