These appeared after a few days. I made a water sample by adding some moss to it to see if any protist would grown in it. They are quite small and very fast!

The still image shows helpful details, such as the long caudal cilium, and the cilia that surround the cell. This is in the same order as Pleuronema (Pleuronematida) but is a species of Cyclidium.
