Spurulina is definitely a type of "corkscrew" bacteria. It's hard to say exactly what it was as small as it was. I have found some spurulina that I could ID.

The fast squiggly thing is another type of bacteria that's a spirochete like not like a spirulina though.

There's a lot of types of bacteria out there. Which there are a lot of types of cyano. Which spirulina is a part of. Which there's a lot of types of spirulina.

For the past week or so I've been over feeding more then I normally over feed to spur on some cyano and eventually some dinoflagelet outbreaks. I'll probably start up another thread as to the details why but basically I'm actually going to test out some bacteria in a bottle for the first time. I've looked at several but this one has some wild claims but also some interesting reviews to back some of those claims up potentially. So, I want to do some testing.

Do you have any idea what the organism close to center in picture 3 might be? It's interesting.

A type of flagellated protist and I would say a type of Anisonema sp.

They are very cool. They can hook onto things with the longer flagela and quickly pull itself back if it needed to.
