This is Anisonema. It's a flagellate. It has two flagella, one for anchoring itself and one to propel itself.

This is Centropyxis. It's an amoeba with a shell and spines with a concave side.

This is a Coleps. It's a ciliate with a barrel-shaped body. It moves around very fast, and it took forever to get a good picture of it. 

This is a Cyclops. It's actually an invertebrate. This one wasn't moving much when we found it. We noticed some internal movement, however. We decided that the poor thing was close to death. RIP.

This is Euchlanis. It's an invertebrate. It uses cilia to move around. 

Dr. McFarland fed our MicroAquariums this week on October 24th.
