This is our eco tower on observation day 1. The animals that we originally put in it was 2 fish, 4 crickets, and about 3 worms. As far as we know the worms are still alive, but unfortunately our 2 fish died :( a couple (2) of our crickets are still living. I think the resaon our worms and crickets are still alive is beacuse the top part of the eco tower has alot of oxygen for them to breath and grasses/soil for them to eat. Our fish simply died because they are gold fish, gold fish never last long. Plus they are not made for being in a small closed container like our eco tower.
Or bean plants that we planted in the soil are growing great! They are super tall and are touching the top of the bottle. The roots of the bean plants are going down into the water... about half way to the bottom. Also more algae is growing off the algae we put in there.
I think our plants turned out really good because we are just really smart and know what plants need.
Our water is very cloudy now that the fish are dead inside of it. It used to be clean and clear and a lovely play pool for little Ping and Pong. Now its a dirty watery graveyard of death.
One very unpredicted thing that happened to our eco tower is that as our fish floats there belly up, the roots from our bean plant grew into the fish! Thats what Emily said. I think its so nasty, but also cool in an awkward way. Poor fishy :( .
I predict that our bean plants will grow really big on the last day and that the water will be dirtier.
