Maybe Metacystis sp outside home

In this video we see perhaps a ciliated of the genre Metacystis.
It measures a 85um (0.085mm) long.
Normally it lives in a "house"
and normally it has a large vacuole at its rear end.
So we're not sure which gender it is.
We found it in the freshwater of "Arroyo Grande", Department of Flores, Ruta 3, Km 243, place "Andresito", Uruguay, South America.
I am grateful to Bruce Taylor and William Bourland
your help to try to identify this ciliated
