A Copapod For ID and a Nematode?

I'm guessing this is a Copapod, but I can't find a picture of this one, so it's a guess.

And I'm pretty sure this is a Nematode. About 4 times bigger than a paramecium.

Hello.

I believe that the first photo is a nauplius of copepod and the rest of photos are spirostomum, it is a ciliate and not a nematode

Thanks Abel. I would be just as happy if it's not a nematode. I don't like the thought of them in my swimming water.
