There seemed to be three distinct bateria in my aquarium the first is an oval shaped thing that seems to spin in one spot. The second is a rod shaped bateria that is either composed of one rod or two segments attached head to tail, they move in one direction and they are also pretty fast. The final and most interesting bateria are these things with one long flagela and what appears to be horns. They are mostly transparent except for a red spot on what I think is the head, they have the ability to control their movement because they can move in any direction.
