Hi all

I scrapped a plant today to examine under the microscope as there seems to me some sort of algae on it and I was trying to figure out which type.
When I put it under the microscope I can see little parasites running around.
What are they.
I did have ich in the tank a couple of months ago which was cleared up with a few weeks treatment. The fish are not displaying any flashing or white spots and these seem to look different under the microscope.
Any help is appreciated

If the algae wipes off in sheets or a film and smells musty mouldy, it is blue green algae (Cyanobacter bacteria). If it doesn't wipe off easily it's probably black beard algae,

The microscopic organisms look like protozoa.
