Great footage! The critters in the first fifteen seconds have contractile zooids, and very short non-contractile stalks, so are probably a species of Rhabdostyla. The ones in the second half are in family Vorticellidae,but not necessarily Vorticella. We don't see the pellicle of the cell closely enough to rule out Pseudovorticella (the genus was split in the late 80s).

Thank you Daruosha and Bruce for comments! Bruce thanks for your explanation about how difficult it can be to identify this small critters. I am a newbeginner to microscoping so i have much to learn... /KD
