Unknown algae (solved)

#1 Post by WWWW » Wed Oct 05, 2022 8:23 am

Hello,

taken a water sample some days ago, stored it in the fridge for a couple of days.
Yesterday I made some slides.

There were thousands of these little light green discs visible. They tumbled through the water.
The size was 30x25 µm (length x width)

I made a short video about the movement and added some photos:



I anyone knows what kind of algae this is, please let me know.
