Heaters

There's no real savings in a cheap heater that's not completely submersible. There are many better ways to save money when you're setting up an aquarium than by buying a "bargain" heater.

Capillaria, another parasitic nematode worm

Capillaria are parasitic nematodes, smaller than Camallanus and proportionately very thin ("capillaria" mean "hair-like"). There are numerous species, most of which were originally from South America, where they co-evolved with certain specific hosts.

Zooplankton: minute crustaceans

Crustacea are a huge division of the arthropods. Crustaceans fill most of the roles in water that insects fill on dry land.
