Plankton I (can not breed or pet at home)
)
length: 0.5 mm -1 mm
Food: microorganism
Basic criteria: saltwater but can not add other
nutrition
Estimated number: 50(First time) 10(Second time)
All of them floating on the water level and have a tentacle outside the bubble to control floating direction
The video show two of them float on the water level
and the left one moving by the tentacle at the back
(First time) petting
time: start from 2005/12/10-24
(Second time) petting time: start from 2006/1/27 for 21 day
They like to
float near the tank surface
When they go near, they will group together
The microorganism near sunlight have a visible growth of 50%
They go to the place that have sunlight directly or indirectly
have a visible growth of 30%
Found they can generate blue luminescence when the water is moving and they touch with the tank surface
have a visible growth of 10%
Attention: although it can see blue luminescence
when the water is moving,
it should not do so and it will make them out of the water and lead to death.
Can not breed or pet at home
Reason: need moving water and high water quality
A rare sample find in wild
size: 1 to 1.5 mm
have grey object inside the body (may related to breeding, eg. egg or sex organ)
new study have it have 3 type of colour: white, yellow or orange and red
Background
The sea water tank water C they are living in
Water size: L: 12 cm, W: 8.5 cm x H: 5 cm
Plankton II
(Found in wild, over hundred were seen)
(can not breed or pet at home)
)
length: 1 cm
Food: microorganism
Basic criteria: saltwater and keep near
sunlight
Estimated number: 2 broken and 1 like a ball
Characteristic
in the wild it flowing in the water
Video show it like a water ball in yellow colour sinking in the water and capable to suffer certain pressure
From another sample II
)
But if the pressure is too high, it will be broken and only the surface will
remain
Petting time: start from 2006/1/27
)
Found the yellow substances can moving. When it stand alone, these can sink on the ball sample I's floor
)
From the picture
the
broken sample III 's floor become a little bit green color
Besides, broken sample II become green color too but its ball become soft and
disappeared
)
The yellow substance go near the bottom and stick
together. No moving even the ball is rolling.
Also the bottom of the ball a little bit protrude.
)
The yellow substance go near the bottom and stick
together and make the ball broken
and them flowing out from the gap. This process make the ball look like a
mushroom
)
The become small and flat by the water pressure and few of the yellow substance still inside the ball
)
As the early in day 3, 2 broken sample have green colour.
In day 22 the green substance look like a plant and grow on the dry food at the
bottom.
(In the research on recent years, over 100 dry food have been placed on the
bottom on tank and this green substance never seen before)
Can not breed or pet at home
Reason: need moving water and high water quality
In new water sample, two new sample was found but 3 and
4 times smaller than the previous sample
2006/10/8
)
3 times smaller sample
Plankton IV (can not breed or pet at home)
length: 0.5 mm (Day 8)
Food: microorganism
Basic criteria: saltwater
Estimated number: 4
characteristic
floating in the water but not float near the water level
Body (Day 18)
when it stick near the bottom by other sticky substances
and also taking photo from time to time, it is easy to see its body structure like
a yoyo
(Day26)
)
Sudden found two of them link together
)
a better photo of it
(Day 28)
)
these two become a little bit bigger and there is a white substance make them link together
Can not breed or pet at home
Reason: need moving water and high water quality
Petting time: 2 months
Background
The sea water tank water B they are living in
Water size: L: 10 cm, W: 8 cm x H: 8 cm
Plankton III (can not breed or pet at home)
length: 2 mm

have many sting on the body
hard body
look like a plant
start petting time: 2006/10/7
Plankton VI
length: 1-2 mm
Food: microorganism
Basic criteria: saltwater
Estimated number: 30-40
characteristic
floating inside the water
light weight (not sinking in stable water)
different shape
look like a plant
start petting time: 2006/10/8
Plankton VII

The video show how it swimming in the water and hide in the light area
Food: microorganism
Basic criteria: saltwater
Estimated number: 1
characteristic
swimming inside the water
)
have a big head
)
two long hands with many small hands
look like jellyfish
start petting time: 2006/10/8
Plankton VIII
length: 0.5 cm
The video show how it swimming in the water and hide in the light area
Food: microorganism
characteristic
have a pair long antenna
different flex speed and angle, make different forward speed
have many legs
)
the video show can flex it body to jump, and jump out over
10 times of its body length
)
the video show it use its leg to swim rather flex is body to jump

Summary
If the gravity is stable and without harmful substance. Saltwater plankton is very easy pet. The most important thing to plant is to keep the tank near the sunlight and always stand alone because if the environment rapidly change is harmful to them.
