Today, when I observed my microaquarium through the microscope I saw some Cyanobacteria (which are made up of segemented cells, they lack a nucleus, and make there food by photosynthesis), Licane Rotifer's (which are transparent and you can also see all of there organells in them), Philodina Rotifer's (they are transparent and you can see how it's organells function), Amoeba (looks like a blog that moves around and grows as it consumes other bacteria).

In this video you can see a Philodina Rotifer that is flapping is cilia at a fast enough pace that it looks like a wheel spinning (thus getting its latin name of wheel-bearer) . You can also see it pumping its mastax along with its other organells in its body.
