Most of the moving organisms were one celled, very tiny, and lived mostly in the middle plants section.
There were a few rotifers. One was off floating on the side alone, while another was in the middle near the plants. They had little cilia that formed into wheels and rotated like wheels.
There was another organism that appeared to be multicellular that moved in an inch-worm like fashion. It was long and oval-rod shaped when stretched out, but would contract and become a blog half its length, then stretch out again.
Algae was common and plentiful in the middle section of the aquarium.
Overall, most organisms tended to congregate in the middle-plant section. A few drifted to the tops and sides, and some crept through the soil, but most interacted with each other and the plants in the middle section.
