I think this is a water flea (Chydorus sp.). Possible Chydorus Sphaericus but I am far from certain. Please prove me wrong!
DIC, 82 in Stack, 20X objective.

Note: Title was changed after positive ID by GPMatthews and Clado.

With the reticulated carapace, I'd incline more towards something like Alonella excisa...

I also think it is Alonella excisa. It is a male.
