Really nice pics! Question: what kind of critter is the little guy on the last image? I'm assuming that's one of the little critters that darts around very fast and I have yet to see a good chart with relative sizes to ID what's what.

Wonderful images Rogelio. It's especially nice when you can get the mouth and gullet in such sharp detail. That's my new standard and the first thing I look for in my critters.

I am not sure about the ID; but it looks like some kind of cyanobacteria or alga.

Thank you for your comments.
