Id creature copepode culture

[Sens2006]

Hi all,

I just started culture of apocyclops panamensis copepods. And i have added isochrysis and nanochloropsis algae. 2 days in i wanted to check how things were going under the microscope. And in my water sample i found a copepod 40x. But at 640x i also found a critter. What is it? Is it a baby pod? A dinoflagelate? Any ideas? It races acrose the screen two times.

Hard to tell unfortunately think you can rule out a rotifer as it doesn't mimic the movements of one

Looks like Tigropus Brevicornis.

The fast mover in the video is a ciliate, although it is difficult to tell at that resolution which exact ciliate it is.

Thanks for the info. Any idea what this is?

Looks like diatoms. The 'glass shard' look gives it away
