I was checking under a microscope to see if I have dinos again... yay I do... but I've also got diatoms.

Saw this thing. Any ideas? I'm I'm concerned at the moment. Just curious

1 Amphipods with some copepods
Not an amphipod, these do not have elongated tails. I believe the video above shows the side view of a copepod with smaller (possibly) ostracods or another small organism (possibly protists of some sort).
