Algae identify

Hello, Im finishing my second month since i started cycling.

I saw diatoms some weeks ago and they disappeared but now i see many kinds of algae im not sure what they are, can anybody help me to identify them?

I can see three kinds in this picture, green one i suppose it is diatom but there are two kinds of red, one of them is like cotton, the other one is just like little red spots, diatoms too?

thank you!

It looks like a combination of Diatoms, Cyanobacteria & that Green Film algae outlined in this link IMO.
