Diatoms come in many shapes and sizesThat was my first impression as well, but I am not seeing the "tails" on either end of these guys like I usually do with diatoms. Are you sure? Other opinions?
Yep still got the UV running you cant see them in the rocks or tank anymore but they are definitely still there after a month. I really wanted to do a water change but i guess ill have to wait a bit longer.In the video i see ostreopsis dinos
How old is the tank . ? For you too have diatoms unless its a new tank ...you would have to have a source of silicate . Bad rodi water ..? Dosing somethingike sponge excel ..or liquid silicate...or sand .?
If it was rust in your tank you'd have bigger problems than silicate ..
Can anyone help me get an ID on this? Doesn't swim like ostreo does...UV hasn't put a dent in it after 5 days.
Sorry about the quality, all I have is this Mickey Mouse microscope.
Hmm i noticed i got those too but i see them at 1200X, the sand is white though, i didnt know dinos move that fast.Difficult to tell for sure, but yeah, you can rule out ostreopsis. If that video is shot at 400X, then my GUESS would be small cell amphidinium. Small and fast.
Where do they look the happiest? In the sand or up higher?
