Pat, super video. I often see several rotifers in a specific sample but never a "Herd" like this.
Actinophrys, you certainly know what to look for.McConkey, these are all female, and you can often see the paired ovaries on either side of the gut.

Nice images.I think that might be the intestine.

What camera and your technique please.The camera I have now is quite good at freezing motion due to its high shutter speed and firing rate.
