Id of these peritrichs, and the organisms eating them?

Hi. I have captured this entire feeding process on video, but before I put together a final movie I'd like to ID the organisms involved.
Are the two Peritrichs Epistylis? They look similar to Epistylis that I found the other day in the same sample.
What are the long, slender ciliates that are eating the peritrich? I know the smaller organism on the top is a euglenoid, I'm referring to the three others in this short clip. Is it Amphileptus?
Thanks.
