Microscopic predator called Lacrymaria olor kills and eats a whole paramecium

Another successful hunt for the Lacrymaria, the most effective unicellular predator

The third time I saw a Lacrymaria kill a paramecium. Is it supposed to get boring overtime, or will I do this until I retire?

Lacrymaria - A long-necked unicellular predator, who searches for its prey with its neck, and if it catches something, it injects it with toxic organelles, and swallows it whole.

I managed to catch a few (microscopic) predators. I love observing as they hunt and eat.

I have a few Collotheca in my jarrarium. These rotifers are predators. They vomit in their own mouth attract small microbes. When a cell is inside, it closes its opening until they swim into its jaw, where it surrounds them with digestive fluids, then swalloms them.

Planaria disposing the shells of the digested rotifers. They only have one opening, so it's quite awkward

Another successful hunt for the Lacrymaria. I'm so happy that I finally have them!

My jarrarium started to have its first Lacrymaria olors. Here's one eating a paramecium

Collotheca might be my new favorite. It just swallowed two microbes alive
This is a Collotheca, a predatory rotifer. In this clip, it swallows a very small microbe

I finally caught a Collotheca, right as it was eating a small microbe

Lately I've been collecting different genus of rotifers. It kinda feels like playing Pokemon. Here are the species I've found so far

Rotaria rotifer. Its main characteristic is that her eyes are not on her torso, but on her proboscis, near her corona

Cute little worm I found in my turtle's aquarium. Seems like an algae eater.
Can anyone ID this worm? Seems harmless, it's full of algae. But I found it in my turtle's aquarium, so I want to make sure.

Yesterday I captured one of my best clips yet. A microscopic predator, Suctoria, catches a prey 10 times its size, then later (0:50) a different microbe also swims into its deadly tentacles.
