A terrible thing happened today... We lost Shrimpy. We started our observations as usual, searching the bottom for Shrimpy. After a while we found him wedged between some gravel, starting to disintegrate. It is evident that the plants are dying as well. They are turning brown and wilting, sinking to the bottom. We have inferred that the cloud of confusion became the cloud of death, slowly killing everything in the terrarium.
However, the snail is still alive. It in the same place as it usually is, out of the water towards the top of the terrarium. The spearmint still has not grown, making us think that it never will. We can infer that since the plants are dying in the water, we probably won't have any plants in the top of the terrarium because the soil is not receiving clean water from the string. In addition, the condensation seems to be expanding each week and the water level is slowly going down. There are also ants crawling all over our terrarium. We think they may have come from the windowsill. They are making their way through the tape, probably trying to get into the terrarium. Maybe they are attracted to Shrimpy...He seemed to have that effect on everyone.
