EMc, it is a Marselea, lol, it doesn't look like Glosso.

Dave, was this from the package GWAPA sent?

That doesn't look like minuta, it looks like the other one that floats around inside our club...

Minuta is TINY. And it has always stayed tiny no matter what I did to it, it dies on me before transitioning to a big size...

The other one we sent, whatever it is, gets lobes at least 4mm, and will get very very tall and reach for light when shaded. (I have some of this one outside in my container pond, we'll see if it will show an ID).

I think I lost my last bits of minuta in a rescape, I'll look arund for it and see if I can post comparitive "head" sizes - I've never personally seen Minuta get a head larger than about 2-3mm or so.

and yes, there are a lot of misnamed ones being sold. I sometimes think people just label it that way to sell it - I've seen a lot of it get bought lately that was far too large to be minuta.
