Spirostomum Ciliates(?)
A couple months ago I got water from a boggy area in my neighborhood and kept a jug of it outside and out of direct sunlight. I've also been keeping it fed with boiled hay water. What looks like what I think is Spirostomum ciliates began reproducing rapidly within the jug.
The pictures aren't the best as I use a phone and take pictures through an eyepiece, but it's the best I can do for now

Re: Spirostomum Ciliates(?)
The photos aren't bad. I use an iPhone 4 with an eyepiece adapter on a binocular scope. The adapter is by Grosky and was $18 on Amazon. The biggest problem I have is with focus so I try to get a good focus through the eyepiece, then attach the phone and let it autofocus, then take the picture. It takes practice but unless you can afford to make a large investment, it will take time to develop a nice photo setup. No pun intended!
