here you go. The smallest of my cave tetras died so I took the opportunity to get some microscopic pictures of the fish.

Very cool images!
Sorry to hear about the fish. Any ideas what happened?
The fish was bent so I feel like a bb cat may have gotten a hold of him what may have been the COD or something to do with a water change I did today shocked him
I don’t know much about where to find them though. Can they be found in an aquarium setting or would I be better getting water from a ditch or lake or pond. Do I just keep looking at water drops under my microscope until I find one?
It tells you where theyre usually found
Tardigrades
Educational webpage detailing tardigrades (water bears), covering their biology, habitats, cryptobiosis adaptations, and methods for finding them, with resources for further study.

I don't use a microscope, but have a micro--lens attachment ring for the camera.
