I recently got a microscope for Christmas and I've been looking around at a lot of the things in my tank. I found this little like winged type thing in my sump and I put it on a slide. It had a very fluid type movement. It seemed very soft when I put the cover slide on it. I bet that I probably squished it. Here are some pics because I am having a hard time finding ways to describe it lol. Photos 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 were at 40x

The bottom look like golden diatoms, a plague, but I can't see well into scopes.
