Unknown creature again
I found the creature in this video in a fish tank, where I already found many different microscopic organisms. This one looks a bit like a rotifer, but also like a gastrotrich. But possibly it is something else. I hope someone knows:

Re: Unknown creature again
They're not as evident here as in some, but at times like 1:22 you can see the action of the jaws in the throat, which are distinctive to rotifers and their immediate relatives. There are a lot of soft-bodied types with this basic form. This one is nicely identified by the peculiar spine between its toes as a Notommata; more particularly only N. tripus has one at the end like that, at least out of the species in general reviews.

Re: Unknown creature again
Thank you, I will update the name.
I find it very difficult to identify objects. I spend much time looking through photographs and video's on the internet, but most of the time I don't find the creature or I indentify it wrong.
