Ok what am I looking for in these slides. I’m pretty sure I have Dino’s but what I’m seeing so far is just algae right?

I’m no scientist and I’m way out of my comfort zone here so I’m open to any advice some one can give.

There was a couple worm looking things swimming around in the slide.

Good news is I don’t see the Dino’s. There are many kinds of various sizes.
One of the kinds I have look like this.
 
Thanks. I thought the idea was to look for tails.

I’m going to try some dapples from another area if my tank.

Looks like a species of Calothrix algae to me...im no biologist tho
 
I had a dino scare once with calothrix. Looks close to identical when in early-mid stages.
